Coached by BROOKS FLEMING, KEVIN NUTTING and DECLAN TRAQUAIR It was a spectacular season for the varsity boys soccer team—one that took them all the way to the GHSA Class AA State Championship. In the finals, Pace faced rival Wesleyan, a team that had dealt the Knights their only previous loss of the season. Pace went into the half trailing by three but fought hard during the remaining period, ultimately falling to the Wolves 4–0, ending an 18–2 season. On the road to the state championship, the Knights earned post-season wins over Armuchee High School (10–0), Benedictine Military School (1–0) and Bremen High School (9–0) before defeating Greater Atlanta Christian School in a Final Four thriller that went to penalty kicks. The team graduates seniors ETHAN FREISHTAT, MARK HANDLER, HOBIE MALIK, JOHNNY REECE, ETHAN ROBINSON, ETHAN SCHNEIDER and SAMUEL SLOMAN.
