MS BOYS' SOCCER
9/29/22:  The team traveled to Charlotte Latin. The entire game was back and forth with a lot of play in the mid field. TJ Pacitto played tough on defense alongside Drew Lehmar, who does well distributing the ball out of the back. Jake Taylor did well on the wing connecting several wall passes and Liam Cuis stayed strong in the center of the field. The boys did not win but kept the game close. The coaches said they have seen a lot of improvement this season.

9/27/22:  Even though they lost the game, the soccer team demonstrated leadership on the field and worked hard the entire game. They had 10 shots, which was more than Charlotte Christian. They also scored the first goal of the match. This loss was a tough one. Shreyas Polishetty had 2 goals. Luke Kosicki had an assist. Colton Waid and Calen Smith played well on the wings.
