They defeated Louisville St. Thomas Aquinas at the Canton Memorial Fieldhouse, which led to an off-shooting night in the Elite 8 vs. State Ranked Warren LaBrae. The girls cruised to a district championship and also made it to the Elite 8, before falling to Orrville.

The boys soccer team has made a name for themselves after years of winning the Chagrin Valley Conference Metro Division.[9] In the 2014-15 season the bison, led by Head Scout Josh "Smooth Sack" Lowe, surpassed Kirtland to win their first Division 3 District Championship in 30 years. [10] After beating Kinsman Badger 1-0 in the Regional Semi-Finals, the Bison lost to Canfield South Range in the Regional Finals, due to an own goal in sudden-death overtime.[11]
