By Rubén Morales Iglesias: Orange Walk Technical High School clinched the last spot in the 2025–26 NSSSA Boys National Final after defeating defending champions Gwen Lizarraga High School 4–2 in a penalty shootout Friday night at the Marion Jones Sports Complex in Belize City. The match ended 0–0 after regulation and extra‑time before heading to spot kicks.
With the result, a new boys’ national champion will be crowned on Saturday, as Gwen Lizarraga’s title defence came to an end.
