St. Andrew’s Falls 3-1 to Westminster in GIAA Class 3A Final

Coach Blake Seal’s senior-led team reached its first state title match since 2010 and leaves Macon with experience to build on for next season.

Overview

  • St. Andrew’s advanced to the championship after a dramatic double-overtime semifinal win over Brookwood that avenged last season’s loss to the same opponent.
  • The Lions received a community sendoff before traveling to Macon, with students, faculty and families celebrating a deep postseason run led by a veteran senior group.
  • The state final was delayed multiple times for lightning and Westminster pulled away late to win 3-1 after Tate Salter briefly equalized with a long left-footed shot.
  • St. Andrew’s finished the season 13-7 and was the last local boys soccer team remaining in the GIAA Class 3A tournament.
  • Coach Blake Seal, who has worked with many players for years, called the run an emotional milestone and the program now returns several underclassmen to build toward next year.
