Boys Soccer Scores in Fashion
By Logan Kozcur
The Unionville Varsity Boys Soccer team has formed an impressive record this season of 9 wins, 2 losses, and 3 ties. They are a team of strong physical and mental players, who have battled against difficult opponents throughout the entire season. Rich Garber expects the highest level of effort from each of his players and pushes them to play their absolute best. Junior Luke Parisi started this season as the goalie until he, unfortunately, suffered a concussion that has taken him out for the rest of the season. Despite this major setback, senior Logan Grayston has stepped up and has played outstandingly.
A centerpiece of the back line is senior Charlie Zucchero. He and the rest of the defense hold their ground against challenging opponents. As a captain, Zucchero plays a key role in leading the defense and keeping his teammates in line throughout each match. Zucchero said it best: “The team works hard to see success and I feel like we’re doing what we can to get there.” Leading the offense is Kondwani Nyoni, junior, whose tactical abilities pose an intense threat to opponents.
Despite a talented squad, Unionville’s schedule is fierce; however, they never fail to let up in tight games. The best example was when the team defeated the standing Chesmont champions, Henderson, leading them to their first loss of the season and breaking their nine game winning streak. Additionally, they crushed the #2 state ranked and #25 nationally ranked team Central Dauphin on October 2nd with a score of 1-0. They face these challenges with perseverance and continue to build strong team chemistry.
With the season coming to a close, the boys look to end strong with their remaining games. With experienced players and strong team chemistry, Unionville hopes to carry its momentum through the last games of the season.
