 Look Ma! Aladdin Mozingo gets ready to score another goal in practice. Wouldn’t it be nice if it were as easy to score goals in a game as it is in practice? Arrid anyone?

The varsity boys soccer team almost won the state championship. Almost! But not quite. They lost the cham- pionship game 1-2 to College Prep. Being runners-up and having a 15-5 record is nothing to sneeze at. The team is to be commended for doing an excellent job. Many hours of hard practice were put in by the team. The team was faced with two new and unavoidable situations. Many powerful starters were lost to gradu- ation last year. Henry Funderburke joined the Academy as soccer coach. All the players accepted these facts and immediately set about to over- come the loss and cooperated fully with the new coach. By the end of the season, the team had the Number 1 defense in the state. The defense allowed an average of 1 goal per game. Perhaps the team didn’t win the championship but they came as close to it as anyone can get. First Runners-up in Championship

Soccer team did very good for themselves. Consisting of boys from grades 6 through 10, the team was coached by Mr. James Smalley. Many of these players have had previous experience which was put to good use during the season. Although the team was young, their determination kept them going and trying even when they were behind. The team will be better than ever next year due to the added experience. 9
