Block That Goal

By Angie Wurm

"A lot of people really don't realize just how much skill it takes to play soccer. It's very difficult to try and play a sport with just your feet," said Susan Scherbak. Scherbak plays JV soccer, but also swings up to play with varsity stating that there really isn't too much difference between the two teams. "All that differs between them is the experience the players have," said Scherbak. This season's JV team is young , but definitely has potential. This was Coach Rossow's second season coaching soccer at NE, and together, the players and and Coach Rossow are learning about the sport .

"Endurance is the key to soccer . Your players may be good, but if they have no endurance, the other team will outrun you, and you will get beaten every time!", replied Scherbak
