Strengths: The majority of the younger players were able to get a significant amount of playing time last season as freshman and sophomores so they understand what high school soccer is about. We have good leadership from our senior captains.
Question marks: While the younger players did get a good amount of varsity experience last season they are still young. If they can improve and learn from last seasons ups and downs, we should improve as a team overall.
Overall outlook: We are looking for a step forward from the junior and sophomore classes this year. They gained a lot of varsity experience last year while we took some lumps but they are excited to get the season underway. Our league is always competitive and we will look to play well all year. If we can do that in our league, anything is possible.
