MOUNT WASHINGTON – Bullitt East’s dreams of a 24th District soccer title came up short last week, but the Chargers played well enough to advance and battle anther day in this week’s Sixth Region Tournament at DeSales High School.

Forced back a day because of wet conditions, the Chargers battled Fern Creek in the championship game on Thursday. That ended up being three days after the Chargers had defeated Whitefield Academy 4-0 in the opening game of the three-team event.
