Their numbers are simply mind-boggling.

Mars boys and girls varsity soccer programs have been pretty dominant over the past decade.

When the Planet girls take to the pitch Saturday afternoon against Plum at North Allegheny's Newman Stadium, the program will be making its eighth appearance in the WPIAL championship game in 10 years.

When the Mars boys won the WPIAL title Thursday night, it marked their first district crown since 2009. But it was the Planets' fourth appearance in the championship game since then.

Try these numbers on for size:

In the past 10 years, the Mars girls soccer team has won 181 games, lost 21 and tied 10.

During that same stretch, the Planet boys have won 160 games, lost 36 and tied nine.

That's a combined record of 341 wins, 57 losses and 19 ties.

Impressive.

But there is one thing these two storied programs have not done in this past decade — win WPIAL championships in the same season.

Both teams reached the WPIAL title game in 2010, 2012 and 2015. The girls won the district crown in each of those years. The boys did not.

This weekend, the shoe is on the other foot.

Mars boys wrapped up their WPIAL title Thursday night. The girls are trying to follow suit.

But it won't be easy.

While the Planets have scored 98 goals and allowed five this season, Plum has scored 93 goals and permitted five. Both teams are undefeated.

Mars handled Plum, 4-0, in last year's WPIAL girls championship game. But Plum has a more seasoned team with revenge on its mind this time around.

The two Mars varsity teams are a combined 33-0 this season while scoring 183 goals and allowing a mere 11.

Regardless of whether the school realizes twin district soccer titles for the first time, the consistent success of these programs cannot be overlooked.

Kudos to girls coach Blair Gerlach and boys coach Chris Knauff for engineering this incredible stretch of winning soccer.

Great players have come and gone over these years.

The programs survive — and thrive.
