Louisville and Norton Meet After 17 Years
This was the first meeting between the Leopards and Panthers in boys soccer since 2005. The 17 season gap is the longest length of time between LHS playing an opponent in team history. Louisville previously waited 14 seasons starting in 2005 before playing Orrville in the 2019 tournament. The Leopards met the Red Riders again in the regular season in 2021, which marked the previous longest gap between playing an opponent in regular season games (16 seasons).
Louisville now leads the all-time series 2-1 and they are undefeated at home in the series 2-0.
