Columbia boys' soccer prepares for Section 2 Class AA quarterfinals
Summary

Columbia boys' soccer, the defending Section 2 Class AA champion, finished the regular season with a 2-1 victory against Niskayuna on October 6. The Blue Devils, seeded third in the tournament, aim for a third consecutive trip to the sectional final when they host Ballston Spa this Thursday. After graduating nine seniors, coach Bryan Lussier has worked to restructure his lineup, relying on players like Aidan Graber and freshman James Vitale.
