Tomorrow morning, the 2010-2011 athletics season officially begins when the 8th grade (plus Hartman) plays their first soccer game of the year.This marks the third year of soccer at St. Mary's.
Although most of the players on the team have played before, this is a new team. For the last two years, the current 8th graders played up with the graduating class of 2010. Many of the players will now have bigger roles on the team and will need to step up their game to fill the voids left by our graduates.
That starts at goalie where Mark will get the start in game one, supplanting Elliot, who was the goalkeeper for most of 2009.
Justin and Jeremy will be looked upon to be more of a force on offense and will need to be the aggressors on the offensive end.
Defensively, Gavin C. looks quicker after a year of soccer under his belt and looks to have a strong sophomore campaign.
New to the team are Miles, Calson and Hartman, the lone 7th grader.
Marissa, Timothy and Gavin L. round out the defense.
For soccer, the expectations aren't set as high as other sports, but after a strong practice today, they should have some momentum going into opening day.
Kickoff is set for 11 a.m. at West Sunset.
