Effingham remained unbeaten with an Apollo Conference win over Mt. Zion 3-1 to improve to 6-0 on the season. This was the first soccer win for EHS over Mt. Zion since 2017. 

Coach Logan Arney said, "We had a great game and showed a lot of teamwork." Arney said, "Maicol Sefton had a highlight goal hitting a perfect shot into the far post upper 90. Jake Niebrugge got on the score sheet for the first time this season while providing a strong presence in the midfield. Camilo Aden continues to show his importance to the team through his field vision and playmaking. Defensively, we played strong and held them scoreless outside of a penalty kick. Each player performed with excellence tonight and I could call out each individual in how they contributed to the game."
