South Oldham girls soccer stopped by Central Hardin in KHSAA state final

LEXINGTON — An early goal and a shutdown defense was all Central Hardin High School needed to capture its first girls soccer state championship. Audrey McGee scored in the sixth minute as Central Hardin beat South Oldham 1-0 on Saturday, Nov. 7, in the championship match of the state tournament at Lexington Sporting Club Stadium . Senior goalkeeper Hannah Ferguson and tournament MVP Gabrielle Callahan took care of the rest, anchoring a Central Hardin defense that posted its 14th straight shutout and 24th of the season. The Bruins allowed just six goals all year. “Our whole team plays really hard,” Central Hardin coach Justin Maddock said. “If you look at the end, we’ve got our forwards up there sliding and tackling and making blocks. And when you have a talented back line and goalkeeper, that makes it even harder.” Ranked No. 1 in the state and No. 4 in the nation by United Soccer Coaches , Central Hardin (25-0-3) became Kentucky's first undefeated state champion since Notre Dame went 28-0-1 in 2021. Central Hardin also became just the second public school in seven years to win the state title. “We proved that with the right people and the right coaching,

St. Xavier soccer caps unbeaten season with latest KHSAA state title

LEXINGTON — After capturing the program’s 18th state championship, only one question remained for the 2026 St. Xavier High School soccer team . Best St. X squad ever? The Tigers stated their case Saturday, Nov. 7, overwhelming Paul Dunbar 5-0 in the championship match of the state tournament at Lexington Sporting Club Stadium . It was a near-perfect finish to a perfect season. “Dunbar had a heck of a season, and they’re a great team," St. X coach Andy Schulten said. "They just caught us on a hot, hot day. Once we got that first goal to go in and then we followed with another, we knew they couldn’t really sit back on us. It was just, ‘Run at them!’” St. X (25-0-1) completed the first undefeated season by a Kentucky boys soccer team since also accomplishing the feat during a 27-0-2 campaign in 2012. The Tigers won their second straight state title and third in the past four years. Along with its No. 1 state ranking, St. X is ranked No. 2 in the nation by United Soccer Coaches . The only blemish on its record was a 1-1 tie against Cleveland St. Ignatius on Sept. 26. St. X
