JACKSONVILLE-The 2016-2017 Middle School athletic year came to a close recently, not without several notable achievements though. From Duval, Clay and St. Johns counties we recognize some of the best moments of the school year.
We start today with the honorable mention list and will release the Top Ten moments over the next couple of days.
Landon had quite a year winning three county titles over the last half of the year including girls soccer, softball and golf.
Here are some of the best stories of the year from girls soccer, swimming, golf and track and field.
Girls Soccer
Landon capped a perfect season going 14-0 by knocking off Fletcher in the championship game. James Weldon Johnson brought home the third place trophy after defeating Oceanway 8-0 in the third place game.
