W6f!f f ' 'ekitliifig' ' goin This year's soccer season may not have been a successful one as far as their record shows, but Coach Q jose Florez and his players felt good about the way they played. We lost 1 some key games this year, but the ii i overall feeling of the season was good because we knew we played the best we could, senior forward Rob jones said. Seniors Paul Deal and Jones were the co-captains of this year's team, which ended their season 7-7. Tough competition such as Sedalia and Joplin proved to be the downfall of the Chiefs. Losing to Joplin, 4-2, prevented the team from advancing Leading the team in goals scored was junior john Phillips who kicked in 17 goals this seasong behind him was jones who scored 12. Mike Fletcher, sophomore, had eight assists to lead the team. Senior Kent Davis played goalie and headed the team in saves with 30. The jayvee team ended their season with an impressive 7-1 record while never bowing to any other Springfield team. The jayvee took first place in the Kickapoo jayvee tournament by beating Parkview and Glendale. Our jayvee team was comprised of mostly freshman and that means more experienced players when they get to the varsity level, Coach Florez said. The Chiefs did not bring home the state title as hopedg but with the young and successful jayvee team, they will work toward many more outstanding accomplishments including a trip to state in the years to come. into the state playoffs.
