The 1985-86 boys Varsity and Junior Varsity soccer team, kicked off their season by shutting down the defending state champions, Valley High, by the score of 1-0. Later in the season, the team started having difficulties following the loss to Cibola, although, they did try their best and never gave up. Coach Olakunle Ojikutu, in his second year of coaching soccer at Santa Fe High, has great expectations for this young team in the 1986-87 season. The team was mostly underclassmen except for two seniors: Jeff Zlotnick, and Jonathan Dunnum. Next year the team will have more experience that will assure them of being top contenders.
