Slow Ride If you happen to walk by the boy ' s locker room and hear the song Slow Ride floating into the hall you might wonder what ' s going on; it ' s just the boy ' s so ccer team getting ready for a game. Of course they don ' t just listen to music they also talk about the game and what they ' re going to do. The music helps them become what tri-captain Fred Messier calls a terrorizing team . The mood in the locker room after a game depends on what happened on the field. When we win we ' re noisy , says Greg Barnagian. But when they lose it ' s quiet . To get in shape for this year the boys had double sessions of practice during the summer. Fred Messier had great faith in the power of team work. If we played as a team, the wins took care of themselves. Are there some games they want to win more than others? Yes, especially if a team is supposed to be better. They are definitely a team with pride. 18
