Lumberjacks extend Civil War win streak
The last time the R.A. Long boys soccer team lost a Civil War matchup with Mark Morris, an aspiring actor named Donald Trump was best known for his cameo in the cinematic classic “Home Alone II”, a film featuring child star Macaulay Culkin and set in New York City.
More than eight years later not even President Trump’s tariffs could interrupt business as usual when the Lumberjacks completed another season sweep in The War Between the Schools with a 3-0 win over the Monarchs
Civil War II of the spring season, set at Longview Memorial Stadium, co-starred several Lumberjacks, with scoring appearances by Payton Thill, Erik Garcia, and Liam Hendrickson.
