The team’s leading goalscorer this season is senior midfielder Milkanu Baker, with six goals.
O’Connor’s start is especially impressive considering they went just 5-8 last season. The Eagles are currently the No. 15 ranked team in the state as they look to get a 6A championship this season.
Queen Creek Remains Winless
Queen Creek is now o-5-1 to start the season and have been outscored 5-23. They have been shut out in four of their six games to start the year.

While they went just 6-10-3 last season, the team showed much more life and competitiveness than this season
It has been a bad start to say the very least but there are still eight games left and time for the Bulldogs to turn it around.
Next Up
The Bulldogs next play the 4-4 Red Mountain Mountain Lions on Tuesday, Jan. 9. They will look to turn the season around after a long break.
The red-hot Eagles next match up against the 3-3-1 Brophy College Prep Broncos on Thursday, Jan. 11.
Each team has had very different starts to their season, but both will look to finish strong as the end approaches.
