Soccer team fights to record first win r few years ago Bishop David took one more step in becoming a fully active member of the Jefferson County sports world. Organized soccer had become a reality. Bro. Carroll Posey, C.S.C. took charge and has coached the team ever since. Although the soccer team remains winless, let that be no indication of the ef- fort and determination put forth by all the players and the coach. The team lost several close games including the first game of the playoff tournament, losing 1 to 2 to Trinity. Soccer is a tradition at many other schools in the area. With the B.D. team every game was a new experience. Although bumped and bruised, the team was finally catching on to the game this season. After blocking a St. X goal l ick, goalie, John Mazzoni kicks the ball downfieid with the approval of Michael T. Martin (60). During a hectic moment in the B.D. backfield, fullback, John Meyer kicks the ball away from a St. X offensive player. The play was to no avail as the Falcons lost a close one.
