Varsity Soccer Win at Hope

The varsity boys soccer team got to play at Hope college on Saturday October 4 th . It was pouring during basically the whole game but it was still fun. The wind and the pouring rain froze us to the bone but we fought hard through the pain. Many of our players got injured but we sucked it up and played to the best of our abilities. Alec Camenga got tripped during the last couple minutes of the game and he got a concussion and Zeri Zelinka got a bloody mouth. Harry Gruen’s legs were in pain and Chris Chartrand got nailed in the chin by an elbow. He also got stepped on many times but he got up, brushed the pain away and kept on the good fight.

Through the blood, sweat and tears the Calvary Eagles came out with a 4 to 0 win against Zion. The defense for the eagles was outstanding, Will Lipscombe (Goalie) did an amazing job at stopping their shots and Zeri (right defense) and Brendan Hamilton (sweeper) did amazing at stopping the other team's attempts on trying to get the ball into our goal. Chris Chartrand (middle defense) had his best game that day, he stayed on number 5 for the Zion team the whole game and they did not give the ball to him that much. He also guarded number 17 when number 5 went to play as the defender for Zion.

Even through the harsh weather and all the injuries the Calvary Christian Eagles came out with a 4 to 0 win. They played their hardest and by doing so they outscored the other team and won the game. It was an amazing experience to play at Hope College because the field was awesome. The field was turf so the ball just kept on rolling and it doesn’t have bumps like regular fields. The field was also wet so you could slide tackle really good. Yes it was painful but it was worth the pain.
