Congratulations to the Middle School Boys’ and Girls Soccer Teams for two very successful seasons. The 17-member boys’ team, coached for the 2nd year by Ricardo Leon, finished with an outstanding record of 8 wins, 1 loss, and 3 ties. They were undefeated in the Atlantic Cape Junior High Athletic League’s Division 3 (based on school size), and just missed coming in first due to one tie near the end of the season. The boys played with great enthusiasm and team spirit. Their defense was hard to beat and became known as the “Green Gate.”
The 17-member girls’ team, coached for the 4th year by Casey Hopwood, ended the season in the Atlantic Cape Junior High Atlantic League with 6 wins and 6 losses. Of the six losses, three of them were by one goal. The girls’ team played in the league’s Division 1 against schools of significantly larger size. Athletic Director Pam Hitchner said many officials commented on how well the girls passed to each other and how well they played. Hitchner said that after each game, the girls asked the other team to join them in a circle to pray and every team agreed. What a wonderful testimony for the Lord that had an impact on the teams they played as well as the officials. Well done middle school coaches and players!
