Boys soccer started off rocky this season, but is coming in with some improvement. Winning two games against Lakeland and Pendleton and losing two against Sandpoint and Moscow, this year’s team has strengths as well as weaknesses.
  “We are all friends and I really think of them as family,” said junior Will Kokernak.
  Team members explained that they are working on communication.  
  “Everyone has different ideas on strategies to use. We all need to communicate ideas on what we are going to do before going on the field,” said senior Sean Schumacher. “We work well together and it really feels like a team.”
   Since the two losses against Sandpoint and Moscow, the boys have started to work out their kinks on and off the field.
  “Our performance is good and very consistent,” stated sophomore, Leighton Shell. “I really like playing with the upperclassmen. I’m gaining skill faster.”
   As for upcoming goals, the boys have their standards set high.
  “I want to at least get past districts and prepare the lowerclassmen for next year’s performances,” said Schumacher.
  “The team has a really good chemistry. We really are a good unit,” said Kokernak.
  The boys next varsity soccer game will be at Walker Field against Sandpoint at noon Saturday, Sept. 23.
