Robur, Honor, Fraternitas
Ave Angele!
The 2005
season is underway. I wanted to wait until our return from
Florida to write about this team so I would have a better understanding
of where we're headed this season.
The season started out with a loss to Golden, which can be
attributed to many things, including a snowy, cold day and an icy
field. This team is built for speed, which was a dificult
proposition on the icy turf of All City Stadium. Golden is a good
team and I hope we see them again in the playoffs.
The next game was a barn burner with Arapahoe, with the East
defense proving how tough they are and what other teams can
expect.
The offense started to get going and thanks to our transition
game, East prevailed in overtime. Games like this bring out the
very best in players.
The team had a great trip to Florida, playing 3 games and
scimmaging St. Mary's of Baltimore, a national top 20 team. The
boys found out how good they really are playing Dublin Sciotio,
OH. Even though it was an overtime loss, 6-5, they were poised
and confident.
Mark Hild, (Sr.) Attack and Adam Swarsen, (Sr.) Defense are true
compeditors with great leadership. Juniors Midfielders, Zach Tedeschi,
Bailey Connor, Russell Clark, Alex Vinton and Zach Miller, anchor a
solid offense. This team has a lot of great young players to compliment
the older experienced players. D middies, Gabe Mann (Soph), Satha Boyd
(Soph), Cody Tall Bull (Soph) and Josh Russell (Fresh) take the
opposition to task. Kjael Skaalerud (Jr.) and Ben Allison (Jr.)
and Blake Larsen (Sr.) round out the attack. Dillon Roy (Jr),
Ryan Burt (Jr), Peter Zarlengo (Sr.), Blaine Tall Bull (Soph) and Tim
Kashiwa (Jr) provide a solid core on defense with Goalies Ben Brown
(Sr.) and Ren Blair, (Jr.)
Rounding out the team on offense are Sophomores, Greg Litvak,
Andrew Lay, Adam Trattler, Ben Gardner, Harry Carrothers, Josh Demby,
and Freshman David Swaren, Riley Cochran and Mats Engdahl.
This team has their minds set on a state championship game and I
have no doubt that it can be a reality. Our defense is the best
in the state. The offense is patient and potent and has alredy outshot
every opponent.
Robur, Honor,
Fraternitas
Ave Angeles!
