Monday, Dec. 13, the Kentlake and Kentwood girls soccer teams came together to present a check for $4,850 to the Covington MultiCare Mammogram Assistance Fund.
The two friendly rivals raised the money with their second-annual Kicks for the Cure soccer match, which was played Oct. 7 at French Field and in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. During the game, each team sports a different shade of pink. In addition, T-shirts are sold and prizes are raffled off throughout the afternoon.
On the field Oct. 7, Kentlake and Kentwood played to a 1-1 tie. Kentlake’s Kayla Maletich scored in the 33rd minute on an assist from Katherine Miccile. Kentwood tied the score at 1-1 in the 78th minute on an assist from Madison Fuller.
