Soccer Hype!
Alex Gonzalez| September 2025
Our SC soccer team as a whole would love to see YOU, yes, you, at their games this season. As we approach the middle of the season, they are looking better than ever, and with a crowd to back them up, they believe they will achieve some great things. So far, our Cardinals are 3-5-2, with our best win being four goals against Anderson County’s one goal here at home on August 14th. A goal is scored when someone kicks the soccer ball into one of the nets on either side of the soccer field. The team fed off the crowd to win the game, as the crowd was a decent size, but could we imagine what they could do with an even bigger crowd.After their long-awaited season finally started after a long offseason and preseason, our soccer team had been hard at work with pre-season, and during season practices, and even working on their own time to get better and improve their overall performance with each success. They faced off against a strong George Rogers Clark (GRC) team on August 12th, and they tied 0-0. Additionally, our soccer cardinals are staying steady, and hopefully, we will pull ahead and go positive this season.In an interview with one of the players on our Varsity team, Senior Alex Toro, said “The team is looking very good this year, and we are looking forward to a great season.” He also said his main goal for the season was to simply improve compared to his past seasons, as well as score a decent amount of goals. Based on conversations with other team members, the entire team looks to improve as much as they can and definitely get some good wins on the way.
