NESHAMINY BOYS’ SOCCER PREVIEW

Coach: Tom Foley, 4^th Year

Assistant coaches: Jim McCourt & Mike Cochran

Last year’s record: 14-0 SOL, 16-3 Overall SOL National Champs

Notable losses: Jamen Rowan, Kenny Herrmann, James, McCourt, Devlin Mettee, Kevin Goetz

Key returners: Eric Schaefer (12^th, F), Justin Tobin (12th, MF) Kyle Denis (12^th MF), Chris Rush (12^th, GK), Dylan McDonald (11^th, MF), Dan Grindrod (11^th, MF), Jon Albarran (11^th, D), Jack McCourt (10^th, F) & Mike Mandia (10^th, MF)

Others to watch: Kevin Sheenan (10^th, MF), Nick Kelly (10^th, MF), & Tedy Krimmel (12^th, D)

Strengths/Question Marks: “We should have a very solid starting midfield with juniors Dylan McDonald and Dan Grindrod playing in the central midfield. Scoring goals is going to be a question for us because we lost 25 goals in Kenny Herrmann (14) and Kevin Goetz(11). We’re hopeful Eric Schaefer and Jack McCourt can pick up the slack. Graduation took three of our four starting backs including regional All-American Jamen Rowan. We’re hopeful we can fill those holes and become a solid defensive team.”

Outlook: “Although, we lost large numbers to graduation, we are hopeful, with some breaks, we can finish near the top of the league. We believe our midfield and forwards will pressure opposing team’s defenses. If this is true, we have a chance to achieve our goals.”
