After a tough loss with a score of 3-0 on Friday, Nov. 15 against Belen Jesuit High School in Miami, FL, boys varsity soccer made a comeback on Tuesday, Nov. 19, against St. Lucie Centennial. The team knew their next game they would have to work harder for the win.

“We’ve been working very hard and that night was the night we got a result,” freshman Preston Kennedy said. Tuesday’s game was the team’s first win of the season. According to Kennedy, this score of 3-1 was a great way to make a comeback.

Head Coach Austin Downie said he took the loss against Belen Jesuit as a way to build the team up.

“We can’t change the past, but we can prepare for the future,” Downie said. He said he uses every moment as a way to teach the team that it is important to learn from the mistakes made, and grow together in the future.

Senior Adrian Mahindra agreed with Downie, explaining the importance of a bonded team.

“We definitely have a lot of good connections as a team,” Mahindra said. “I think it is very important when building our success.”

Through their time spent together on the field, the team is learning the keys to success. The boys soccer team will take on Space Coast High School at home on Thursday, Nov. 21.
