With the soccer season nearing the halfway point, the boys varsity team started with a successful 3-2-2 start while the girls varsity team began with a 4-5-2 record.

Spirits have stayed high for both teams and they’re looking to make improvements and end the season strong.

“Learning to work as a team would help in the second half of the season,” senior center back Sergio Ruvalcaba said.

With a strong finish in district play, the boys could solidify a spot for themselves in the playoffs. They hope to return after a two year absence.

The girls have also managed to pinpoint areas where they can improve.

“I think we need to improve on our passing and our communication on the field,” junior defender Gabriela Garcia said.

Highlights of the girls season have included an 8-0 thrashing of Beeville High School and a 5-0 win over Smithville High School. The guys have seen similar success with a 2-0 victory over McCallum and a close 2-1 win over district opponents Lehman High School.
