COLLINSVILLE, Ala.— The Collinsville Panthers Soccer Team fell to Altamont 2-0 in the second round of the varsity boys 1A-3A Soccer State Tournament.  The team finished their season with a record of 9-9-2 and was perfect in their region.

“We played really hard last Saturday.  The team took the loss hard and are determined to work hard in the off season.  Altamont was a very good team.  I would not be surprised if they win the state championship.” said Collinsville Head Soccer Coach, Jeff W. Stanley. “Our starting line up was basically ninth and tenth graders.  We had several players that were playing injured as well.  We have no seniors on this team.  I believe if this team works hard and buys in like they did this year, we can compete for championships in the highest level.”

After the second round of the Soccer Tournament, the 1A-3A All AREA 6 Boys varsity soccer team was recently voted on by the coaches of each team. Collinsville led the way with ten selections.
