On Saturday March 5th, Flashes Soccer defeated Saddleback Valley Christian 5-1 to become CIF Champions. Measuring one of the largest crowds attending the all-day finals tournament, approximately 1,000 Fillmore Soccer fans made the trip to Warren High School in Downey California for the 9:30am match start and witnessed their Flashes become CIF Southern Section Division 7 Champions and improve their season record to 20-3-3.

Upon returning home to Fillmore after the match, the team was met by the Fillmore Fire Department, loaded on top of one of the department’s largest vehicles, and given a parade through Fillmore.
