“In the face of changes and untimely setbacks, Boys Varsity Soccer team has endured and produced a successful season. The campaign started strong, with the team remaining undefeated in the preseason despite losing many talented seniors from the past year. The team carried this momentum into the season games, as they won their league with an impressive 11-1 record. However, as the year progressed and the team participated in county play, injuries afflicted some of their key players, mainly center midfielder Carlos Moncion and center back Alex Silbert, who were injured against Leonia and in a county game against Garfield. Although they impressively reached the semifinals of the Bergen Cup, the team ended up losing their final three games of the season.”
“But even through these obstacles, the team found ways to persevere. Multiple junior varsity players, such as center backs Milo Mizner and Matias de Alba, were promoted to varsity during the season, and they played crucial roles, especially during the team’s state games, and team captain and GK Kimani Wittner-White cited their County and League games against Garfield as some of the most memorable of the season.”*
