Ranked 12th in the state and currently first place at Conference, the Boys’ Varsity Soccer team is bringing their winning streak to Sectionals at Highland High School on Oct. 2. In his 26th year coaching the team, Coach Jim Prasopoulos emphasizes the key to this year’s success is the team’s ability to work together on the field.
“What you do is you keep on trying to build your team chemistry every game,” Coach Prasopoulos said. “When you have a strong veteran team of players, they understand that success comes in everybody being on the same page.”
Junior Niko Panos agrees with his coach’s point from the on-field perspective as a player and how the team keeps in harmony.
“On the field and off the field, we fight for one another. We do our best to get to know each other more each game,” Panos said. “We’re gonna go as far as we can in the postseason with this team we have right now.”
Robert Gonnella, senior, looks forward to riding their success all the way towards into postseason play and possibly even state.
“We’re honestly just aiming for the deepest postseason run that we can,” Gonnella said. “We’re standing at top 20 in the state, looking really good with only one loss in the season. At the end of the day, winning state is what we’re all set on.”
