Mechanicville is a special community. I know because I was born and raised there and have returned to raise my family in this amazing city. The Mechanicville boys' soccer team is now on the cusp of winning the first-ever state championship for any boys program in Mechanicville School history and the entire community is rooting for them.

They will play on Saturday (November 12th) at 8:30 am two hours away in Goshen, NY. Because all of Mechanicville is rooting for the boys but can't all travel to see them play, the school is hosting a watch party in the cafeteria starting at 8 am. They expect to have over two hundred people there.
