Soccer senior night showcases upperclassmen

The varsity boys soccer team took on Shawnee Heights on Oct. 19 for their final regular season game. The boys won their senior night match 3-0.

“We scored early which allowed us to possess the ball and play how we wanted to,” senior Luke Matthews said.

The soccer program is losing 15 seniors after this season.

“I think it’s going to take a lot of work for the underclassmen to step up and take a place on varsity (after losing 15 seniors),” Matthews said.

The Lions had to deal with difficult weather conditions, specifically the harsh winds.

“We couldn’t do a lot of crosses, but we scored all three goals in the first half when we were playing against the wind,” senior Conner Murphy said.

Their record for the season is 10 wins, five losses and one tie.

“We beat some good teams, but then we never beat any top teams in the state, so that’s not good for us, but I think as the playoffs come, we’ll step it up,” Murphy said.
