This past Thursday, November 7th, our boys Varsity Soccer team defeated the Lions of Florida Baptist Academy on our home turf. In their opening game, our Rays were able to destroy one of the best teams in Collier County with a score of 4-0.
Our starters comprised numerous freshmen, who all came together under Coach Higuera’s leadership to drag out a win. Scorers for this game are freshman Benjamin Savarino, freshman Weslyn Vilatoro, freshman Raul Antonio-Carillo, and senior Enrique Ramirez. New goalie, freshman Evan Shean took the crowd by storm, protecting his goal with his life, and stopping numerous fastballs from getting into the net.
