Montgomery Academy ended The Streak and took home the Class 7A championship.

MA (19-5-2) scored twice in less than two minutes early in the first half and earned a 2-1 victory over Oak Mountain – ending OM’s 49-game winning streak and 60-game unbeaten string dating back to the 2023 season – in Saturday’s Class 7A boys championship at John Hunt Park in Huntsville.

It’s MA’s first state boys soccer title.

“I’ve always believed we were the best team in the state,” Montgomery Academy coach Gui Mondaini said.

MA’s first goal was scored with an own goal, after a long kick ricocheted off Oak Mountain goalkeeper Owen Wells’ hands and landed in the back of the net in the eighth minute. Then, less than two minutes later, tournament MVP Cade Seagars scored on an assist from Ethan Yi to make it 2-0.

“Maybe it shocked us a little bit,” Oak Mountain coach David DiPiazza said.

Top-ranked Oak Mountain, which carried a No. 1 national ranking by MaxPreps into the match, had allowed two goals only one other time this season – a 3-2 victory over Hoover that was settled with a penalty kick shootout. On Saturday, Oak Mountain couldn’t overcome the two-goal deficit.

Oak Mountain (30-1) finished the season with 17 shutouts and allowed just 17 goals this season.

“Montgomery Academy played great,” DiPiazza said. “It’s not always us not doing something well. They’ve got great players and they’re well coached.

“I think we had an incredible season,” DiPiazza added. “I’m so proud of our seniors and what they accomplished – four trips to the final four and this is our third championship game. My heart breaks for them.”

Oak Mountain’s Nate Taylor scored in the 54th minute on a penalty kick to cut MA’s lead to 2-1.

Eighth-ranked Montgomery Academy’s victory avenged a 5-0 loss to Oak Mountain in the Wiregrass Cup in late February, although Mondaini said he missed four starters, including two who were playing in the state basketball tournament in Birmingham, for that early-season showdown.

Montgomery Academy won the Class 3A basketball title, but the boys soccer team plays in 7A because of the AHSAA’s competitive balance rule. The victory over Oak Mountain gives Montgomery Academy its first state boys state soccer title after making multiple trips to Huntsville in the last decade.

“To win in 7A as a 3A school is just incredible,” Yi said.
