Going into this season, no one at the Jean and Samuel Frankel Jewish Academy of Metropolitian Detroit could remember the last year the boys varsity soccer team won a single game.
So when the Jaguars tied their first game this season, the team celebrated the fact they didn't lose.
But the tie sparked a turnaround for the Jaguars as they have gone on to accomplish something no other soccer team in the decade-long school history has ever done -- earn a winning record.
The Jaguars won their third game of the season Thursday, Sept. 24, beating Catholic High School League rival Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes 2-1 at Drake Park.
The victory moved the Jewish
Academy to 3-2-1 on the season.

Grand Haven Tribune -- Here's a question to ponder: What's the more difficult task to accomplish — training and riding
quarter horses, or defeating two-time defending state champion
