As the 2014 and 2015 Open Division state champions, the CCHS’s men’s soccer team is used to success. However, after losing 13 seniors from last year’s squad, winning may be more difficult this year to get back on top.

Trying to recover from a particularly difficult season, the team members express their desire to redeem themselves and take home this year’s trophy.

Although the team will be a young one, Head Coach Nate Hetherington feels confident his underclassmen will perform to expectations.

“I am excited for the new talent coming up through the program,” Mr. Hetherington said. “This year, we will have a younger varsity team compared to past years, but we look forward to overcoming our age adversity as we focus on intelligent team play.”

A lack of seniors will leave room this season for new team leaders to step up, and the coaching staff looks forward to Kane Barton ‘18 and Andrew Kleszewski ‘18 becoming role models for their younger teammates as the year progresses.

The junior varsity and freshman teams, under the respective leadership of Head Coach Jesse Gonzalez and Head Coach Eli Galbraith-Knapp, grow increasingly stronger every season, and it looks as if they will be competitive teams, Mr. Hetherington said.
