Varsity Boys Soccer

Last year, the boys soccer team had a record of 9-9 which is an improvement over the past few years. They worked hard to close the gap between teams that have recently dominated their division. They were a goal away on most games that they lost. Sam Curtis was an excellent goalkeeper. “He was really a revelation in his first year as goalkeeper and gave us a chance in the toughest games,” said Head Coach John Ward Grace. “We also had a lot of goals and assists from our attacking group, players like Drew Williams, Eli Burciaga, and Sam Evans. These guys found ways to make it happen going forward. Ross Evans, along with the emergence of Parker LeGoff and Makan Garcia, really did some exceptional things in defense.”

The coaches are excited to have many of their players back for this season. The seniors include Martin Tomas, Will Steward, Clark Carmichiel, Hayes Crozier, Will Nuckolls, Sam Curtis, Anthony Garcia, Drew Williams, Ross Evans, Julio Venegas, Parker LeGoff and Baker Hall. “The boys really worked hard to change the trajectory that we have been on and the tide is definitely turning,” said Coach Grace. “We’re very excited to see what this big senior class can do in their final year.”

While this is Coach Grace’s first season as head coach, he already sees the potential and talent among the athletes. “We have a great group of seniors that are leading the team,” said Coach Grace. “I expect the team to win division this year and make a run in the playoffs. With hard work and the talent that we have, we can do it as a team. I’m excited about the season and the opportunity to coach these guys.”
