The Boys Soccer team got off to a rough start to the week, playing depleted against an energetic Norristown squad, the Warriors played disjointed. While there were a few good individual efforts, the team aspect was missing and led to an 0-2 loss to the neighbors to the east. Man of the Match honors for this one go to Cole Larcinese who was able to get off three good shots and draw several fouls with a lot of hustle play.

On Wednesday OJR came in for a visit and while the boys played one of their better games of the season, it was not enough against an OJR team pushing for the playoffs. A couple of defensive breakdowns could not be undone even with the solid midfield play and best passing of the season for the Warriors. Falling 0-3 was not a true reflection of the level of play in this game. Man of the Match honors go to Curtis Alexander who was able to lock down whatever side of the field he was on at fullback.

The Warriors will wrap up their season this week with three more games, two at home of Thursday and Friday.

Upcoming Events:

-Tuesday 10/10 - Game vs. SpringFord (AWAY)

-Thursday 10/12 - Game vs. Boyertown (HOME)

-Friday 10/13 - Game vs. Central Bucks South (HOME)
