Everyone expected some improvement for the Somerville Yeguas football team in 2024.
But only the players could have predicted just how far they could go.
With a 34-22 road win over Milano last Friday, the Yeguas finished the season 9-1 overall and 7-0 in District 13-2A Division II -- a district champion for the first time since 1983.
And it was the first unbeaten district record since 1976.
