This boys soccer season has been looked forward to for a while thanks to the influx of young talent to the program. Great plays from underclassmen, and leadership from the seniors, have led to the Knights 2-1 start.

The season began with a convincing 3-1 victory against Trivium Prep, with goals from three different underclassmen. Then the team left for soccer camp, where they had a great time, while coming closer together as a team.

Captain Jacob Cryder says, “The team’s chemistry comes from team bonding at camp and Coach Potter’s methods. A lot of the underclassmen have bought into the environment as well.”

The highlight of the season so far was the win over highly ranked Casteel. Despite injuries to important players, the Knights pulled out a tough victory. Asa Champ sealed the victory with a clutch goal, and Josh Hudson stepped in at goalie due to injury.

This victory should be the start of a great season. Captain Jacob Matsumoto says, “Our season had a very good start. We played tough with one of the best teams in the state (Safford) and beat another (Casteel).”

The season looks to be one that will make a lot of memories. Good luck to the Knights as they continue into region play!
