Catholic high schools continue to have success on the boys’ soccer pitch, and expectations are high again in 2022. Salesianum captured another Division I state championship last season, while Saint Mark’s was the top seed in Division II.

All of the teams will play their first game by Saturday night, when Salesianum visits Walter Johnson High School in Bethesda, Md.
