Thirty years of boys’ high school soccer has been played in Kansas with no state champions from western Kansas.
Not anymore.
Joshua DonJuan sparked Dodge City with an early first-half goal, giving the Red Demons a 1-0 state championship victory over Olathe East.
Dodge City shut out the Hawks and semifinal opponent, Shawnee Mission East. Overall, the Red Demons allowed no goals in any postseason game.
“These boys deserve it,” coach Saul Hernandez said. “I wanted everyone to see that these boys are talented as anyone in the state. They proved it today… there is good soccer in Dodge City and in western Kansas.”
