The Colorado Springs Christian Schools boys soccer team is headed to the 2026 CHSAA Class 3A State Playoffs! After a season of hard work, growth, and determination, the Lions have earned their opportunity to compete among the state’s top 32 teams.

Entering the tournament as the No. 28 seed, CSCS will face No. 5 The Classical Academy in the opening round on Wednesday, October 28. The Titans enter the matchup with a 9-2-3 record, presenting a significant challenge for the Lions. But this team has shown throughout the season that it is willing to compete, battle through adversity, and rise to the occasion.

A Season That Prepared Them for This Moment

The Lions finished third in the 3A Tri-Peaks conference with a 3-1 league record. Their season included important victories, closely contested matches, and opportunities to develop as a team.

Senior Judah Rogers has helped lead the offensive effort, while junior goalkeeper Sean Law has been a dependable presence in goal. Seniors Antonio Ordaz, Carson Dorminey, and Barclay Stuart have also provided valuable leadership throughout the season.

Now, everything comes down to what happens on the field. The Lions know the road ahead will not be easy, but playoff soccer brings an opportunity to put everything they have learned into action.

The Opportunity Ahead

The opening round is a win-or-go-home matchup, and the Lions will need to bring their best against a highly seeded opponent.

For this team, the opportunity represents more than another game. It is a chance to compete with confidence, trust one another, and demonstrate the character and perseverance they have developed throughout the season.

We believe in these young men. We believe in their ability to compete, to lead, and to represent CSCS with excellence, regardless of the challenge in front of them.

Lions community, let’s show up and support our boys as they take on the state playoffs!

The winner advances to the second round on November 3 against the winner of Denver Christian and Liberty Common.

Let’s go, Lions!
