The Boys Soccer team were finally able to get games in by the end of last week.

Thursday the boys travelled and played a solid game against OJR but gave up two early goals on corner kicks and were battling from behind the rest of the match. Finally falling 0-3. Solid work was turned in by the center mids Luke Naverrete, Ethan Kumar and Damian Mularz but Man of the Match honors for this one go to Curtis Alexander who was able to shut down whatever side of the field he was on all game, leaving nothing behind but some skin and a piece of his shirt.

Friday brought a very good Spring Ford team into the friendly confines. Our boys started the game with great energy and control and jumped out to an early 1-0 advantage on a beautiful goal from about 30 yards out by Ethan Kumar. SF was able to tie it up with about 10 minutes left in the first half and the game remained tied until the 60 minute mark. Unfortunately, that is when the wheels fell off. SF scored then took a man advantage after an over eager red card left the Warriors a man down for the last 20 minutes. From there 3 more goals were surrendered to account for the 1-5 final but it was no reflection of how the boys played. Despite the score the defense, anchored by Logan Courtney and Owen Rovinsky, turned in a solid effort that we hope they can repeat. Man of the Match award for this one goes to Cole Larcinese for his tireless effort and ability to create good scoring chances from what seemed like nothing.

The JV Warriors posted 0-3 and 0-1 losses but continue to work on the things that will create good Varsity players when their number is called.

Upcoming Events:

-Monday 9/18 - Game vs. Pottstown (HOME)

-Wednesday 9/20 - Game vs. Boyertown (AWAY)

With 4 games this week, the Warriors are eager to get back to a normal game schedule and start earning victories!

Last week saw the Warriors travel to PJP to take on the defending AAA state champions. Methacton lost the match 3-0 however there were positives that the coaches emphasized to the team at the end. Playing that way will earn a lot of wins this season if we continue to work hard and do the right things. Wednesday had a match postponed at OJR so it gave us 3 days of practice to get ready for Downingtown West on Friday. Downingtown West qualified for the state tournament last season. We were able to defeat West 3-1 capping off the week. We received contributions from everybody on the team.

This week is filled with PAC matches against Spring Ford on Monday, Upper Merion on Wednesday and Boyertown on Friday. Upper Merion is after school at 3:45 and varsity only due to back to school night. Boyertown is JV at 5:30 and Varsity at 7. Come support your Warriors in the gym!
