“[The season] had its ups and downs. We had good games, bad games and games we had no idea what to do. Overall as a team, we worked as hard as other teams, we just couldn’t get the finishing touch,” Luca De Martino, freshman boys soccer player, explained.

The end of boys varsity soccer is fast-approaching; the team will officially end its season Saturday.

So far their record is 4-8-4, having played 16 out of 18 games of the fall season. Though they have not won all of their games, winning is not the most important thing to them.

“I don’t really pay attention to the record, so much as, [is the team] getting better. When you’re winning, everything is roses, yet you have to have a focus on are we getting better, and are we doing our best?” Coach Richard Dorn, explained.

However, when the team is not improving,  that is when they look to their captains, Sean Reynolds and Bryce Counsellor, seniors, and Doug Kellner, junior.

“Partially, the coaches look at the players that have good leadership ability. And guys that are gunna be expected to play 90 minutes of the game. There also is a player vote, who they think should be captain and we take that into consideration,” Coach Tony Navarre said.

The boys continue to  build their team camaraderie by having team dinners before games. “We are strong and we play together and are weak when we try to do it by ourselves,”  Kellner explained. Building their team seems to be a continuous goal and though the end is in sight, the four coaches, Coach Dorn, Coach Navarre, Coach Tim Harrison and Coach David Schimpf will continue to help the team finish off their season.

On Tuesday, Oct. 7 they will take on Whitefish Bay High School and for their final game on Saturday, Oct. 11 they will compete against Neenah High School.
