Congratulations on a great High School season to all the boys!!!
Sunday morning under bright skies and bone chilling temps, both DAP teams scrimmaged Seacoast at the Seacoast training facility in Epping, NH. The boys played three 30 minute "periods". This was a great opportunity to get in some game action before heading out to Lancaster, CA for the Winter Showcase.
There were 3 goals scored and 1 goal given up by the 18's - Josh Danesh scored on "rocket" from 25 yards out. Leon Brown scored the second goal of the morning and Charlie Rugg finished off the scoring, picking up a rebound off a Scott Prozeller shot.
Since all the boys are coming off their high school seasons, game fitness was there and all those "bad habits" usually acquired after 3 months of high school soccer were no where to be found...
Everyone is looking forward to the CA and the upcoming season!!
Go Bolts!!!
A big round of thanks to everyone that supported our first fundraising effort. The evening was a great success!!! Nike®, Gatorade®, Wegotsoccer, Ignite Sports, Train Boston, and most importantly the players, coaches and parents selling tickets, bidding on raffle items,
and gambling "bolts bucks" at the tables made the night a big hit!!!
Thanks to all!
On a cold night in Weymouth, Masco Regional and John Miller we looking forward to their semifinal match against Nauset High School. Rumor had it that Nauset liked to pack it in and play for PK's. Masco would have none of that, beating Nauset 2-0 to advance to the D2 Finals on Saturday, November 22nd at 1:30 PM in Lowell.
Good luck to John and all his teammates!!!
Heading into the weekend of November 15 and 16, we had 2 coaches and 4 players still competing in post season action. When the dust settled on Sunday night, only one team was victorious - Masconoment Regional High School and John Miller. Masco still has to face two more teams before they can claim the D2 State Title this year!!
Coach Ainscough's Northeastern University team (http://www.gonu.com/msoccer/) lost in the CAA finals to George Mason, 1-0 in Wilmington, NC. Coach Koolman's Franklin Pierce team lost to second seed Dowling College, 3-1 in the NCAA Division II East regional semifinals. The Rivers School and Charlie Rugg fell 3-1 in the Class B NEPSAC finals on Sunday to a tough South Kent School team just one day after sending Groton Academy packing, 3-0 in the semis. Needham High School and David Robinson fell short against Brockton on Sunday in the D1 South Sectional Finals. St. John's Prep and Owen Fox were on a post-season run that no one expected but found themselves up against Framingham in the D1 North Sectional Finals. Unfortunately, Framingham put an end to SJP's post-season run 2-0.
