Straight to the Goal

With putting in a lot of time and dedication, the boys soccer team worked hard to earn their wins.“The beginning of the season did not go the way I thought, but the group has responded well to earn our victories,” Coach Stiles said. He feels a lot of pride for his players and their milestones. The team has built an indestructible bond throughout the season. “Our team bond is like a family. We take care of each other on and off the field,” Kaleab Wendy ‘24 said. Many of the players have been playing soccer for a long time and have a lot of outside practice. “We have known each other for a while in club season and outside of organized soccer. I would say we have a strong connection,” Wendy said. The boys know what they want and have plans to get there. Their main goals were to be the conference champion and to play in the state championship. As a result of their diligence, the team made their way to the 4A championship. They fell short of a team title in a 2-3 loss to Johnston on June 3.
