BOYS’ VARSITY SOCCER

1/4 vs Cooper Alumni • 6-4 LOSS

Coach Bryan Sherman: It was a great turnout this year for the alumni game. It’s always fun getting former players out on Pugh Field again to see how quickly they have forgotten everything we worked on and how easy it is to get out of shape, but they played hard and gave our current group a great game, winning 6-4. I hope we can continue this tradition for years to come.
