COACH’S COMMENTS

“… We have a lot of players that have committed themselves to soccer that haven’t played in a few years. Those boys haven’t lost a step. They are playing at a level that has been competitive with teams in the region.”

“… No Junior Varsity, We will have 20 players on the roster. That works out great for a soccer team. It allows us time to work some of the younger boys into the mix for playing time.”
