Composed mostly of underclassmen, the team had a slow start but things picked up as the season progressed. Defeating Green Mountain was the high point of the season. Two players, Gina Witalec and Kelly Crossman, were elected to the All Opponent Team and Kelly was elected to the All-State Team. The team has high hopes for next year! 16

The year ended with six wins and eight losses. The boys went into tournaments with a solid team and a positive attitude and after winning two play off games lost to Sacred Heart (who went on to be the champs) in the semi- finals. This means we are considered one of the state’s top four teams. Salvador Lopez Toledo was the high scorer with four goals and eight assists. Our well known Boys’ Varsity Soccer coach, An- thony Valente, is also the algebra and plane geometry instructor. Mr. Valente also sponsors snowmobiling and volleyball. He was raised in Ludlow and graduated from B.R.H.S. and then attended Castleton State College. Tony Valente enjoys all varieties of music. 17
