Breakdown and Analysis: Boys Varsity Soccer (10/20/13)



                                          The Bobcats were unable to overcome a very 
                                          physical Glastonbury team on Friday. Going through
                                          a rebuilding year, the boys have been able to hang
                                          around .500 and may be able to squeak into the 
                                         state tournament.



   Heading into late October, the Boys Varsity Soccer team looks pretty good. When they're winning the boys are scoring at least two goals and they look strong. However, they are going through a "semi-rebuild" mode graduating key players from last years team and have been shutout a few times this year. They held their own in a 3-1 loss to a very physical Glastonbury on Friday.

   It would be ideal if the team can hang around above the .500 mark with the season winding down in order to sneak into the state tournament. With the players they have on the field this is not impossible. Noah Kennedy has played great defense this year, a star on that side of the field. Tyler Sarra has shot the ball well, and Mike Tarascio has been the team's ultimate all-around player. Though the Bobcats may not seem like an elite contender as of now, they can definitely make a late push with time running short, and they definitely have talent they can build on come next year.
