Mid-season Soccer

There certainly were high hopes coming into the 2009 season for the players and coaches of the boy’s soccer team. The only thing on the mind of the coaches and returning players was to avenge the short lived post season from the previous year. A tough loss in the first round of the playoffs ended the last season for the Rockets. This year hopes to be anything but the same.

The season-opener showed just how competitive the year would be with a loss to Oostburg. Head coach Papi Pozo always taught to keep your heads in the game and to never give up, which is exactly what the team did, coming back mid-season to win four straight games to achieve a 5-3 record. Because of the large amount of new players joining this year, a junior varsity team was formed playing a few games this year. Only one game in, the junior varsity team is 1-0. The season is only half over and we look forward to seeing how the rest of the year turns out. With such a close and competitive conference anything can happen.
