The 2019-2020 boys and girls soccer season is about to kick off. Players from both teams have already gone through tryouts and are ready to start practicing. The first game will be on Nov. 19 with the boys’ game taking place at Moor Field and the girls’ at Marshall High School. Both games are only within a few minutes of each other. The boys soccer game will be starting at 3:15 while the girls soccer game will be at 3:30. With both of their seasons about to start the teams already have high expectations.

 “Our expectations for this season are to make a run for CIF and win league. We really want to move up a division this year,” Center Back Isiah Sedano said.

 Sedano is one of many players on the boys soccer team who expects to achieve a lot this year. Now that the rosters have been set, players returning to the team are excited to see the new talent. 

“From what I’ve seen, there is potential in the players who tried out, but we just need to start practicing together in order to get the team in rhythm,” Midfielder Andy Flores said.

 Meanwhile, the Lady Moors just got their rosters set. Returning players cannot wait to get back out on the field for another season. 

“The girls are all family. We all know exactly how we play and what works towards a win. As for some of the new girls that have tried out, I saw a lot of potential, but to get where we should be we need to put work in every day,” Midfielder Miranda Guzman said. 

The unity in the team is evident through their winning percentage last year which was 500%. This percentage stems from a solid 8-2-8 overall record between last year’s home and away games. 

Both teams seem enthusiastic about this season and see potential in those who tried out. The new season is just around the corner , so make sure to come out and catch a girls or boys game on Nov.19.
