"This Monday the Varsity soccer team were instructed by Coach Maine to wear their solid blue and white stripped uniforms to school the next day. All players showed up Tuesday to school in their jerseys looking sharp. These jerseys signified a brotherhood, strength, spirit, teamwork, and unity. Mike Warren being the goalie got to wear his awesome lime green and black goalie jersey with the team.
School let out and those proud Eagles soccer players hit the locker room to get into game gear and went right on the field and warmed up. The fans slowly started coming in as the Varsity team warmed up and the fans watched and cheered as the team did their regular lap around half of the field and circled in the middle to stretch. The captains, Drew Maine and Joel Fullmer told the team to start their routine passing drills and they did just that. Then Coach Maine called for a shooting drill. Before you knew it warm up was over and the Varsity team was circled with fists in the air praying, and after Amen was said, Coach Maine said Team on three, 1.2.3. and TEAM was shouted from the group.
The starters took the field against Potter's House, the whistle was blown and the ball was kicked. The Varsity team played hard for two 45 minute halves. The final horn blew ending the game, and unfortunately the Varsity team had lost to Potter's house. Yet the Eagles held their head high, knowing that win or lose they will be the Varsity team for the season and with hard practices ahead, improvement will be made, and games will be won!"
