In their four years at Ringgold, senior soccer standouts Kobe Norfleet and Jeff Soles were a part of some memorable moments. 

The duo helped lead the Rams to three section titles – including overtime wins over Trinity, Belle Vernon Area and Laurel Highlands to clinch those section crowns – and played in the postseason every year of their high school careers. 

While their time wearing the blue and gold might be over, the duo will have the chance to make even more memories together while wearing the red and black at a local university next year. 

Norfleet and Soles will continue their academic and soccer careers at nearby California University of Pennsylvania in the fall, playing for head coach Emedin Sabic.
