The men’s varsity Hornet soccer team had a successful season this year with wins against St. Pius, Truman, and Ruskin Mills.

The season was bittersweet for every team member and coach as it came to a close.

Seniors must move on and underclassmen have to step up and lead the team.

The senior boys know that there will be many things about playing soccer at Northtown that they will miss.

Senior Eli Warren said, “I’ll miss all my teammates.”

In addition to their teammates, some said they will miss playing the game and the exercise.

Senior Gabe Melgarejo said, “I’ll miss running because I’ll get lazy.”

Whatever it is they’ll miss, the senior boys know they will leave the team in good hands with their younger teammates.

The underclassmen on the team know that they have hard work ahead of them, but they’re confident that they can lead the team.

Sophomore Josh Folken said, “We’ll lose a lot of talent with the seniors leaving, but I’m going to be encouraging for the new kids that will be on varsity next year.”

Whatever it is the boys do, the seniors know that their remaining teammates will step up and bring the team to victory in later years.

All in all, the boys on the soccer team had an extraordinary year. They all worked well together and brought victories home.

The seniors will be missed, but the underclassmen will take a stand and make sure that the varsity team continues to thrive in the years to come.
