In their game against B-CC, the boys defeated the Barons 7-4, with goals from sophomore Jake Smith, junior Sean Lin and senior Nathan Sharpe. This was a non-league game, so the boys will face the Barons again. “It was so satisfying being able to win the first two games. It really gave us a lot of momentum for the Churchill game,” sophomore Danny Rothenberg said, “Hopefully, we’ll beat them again the next time we play them.”
In what one may call the most intense matchup of their season, the boys went on to play Churchill on Nov. 7. After a hard-fought game, the boys stood victorious as they had defeated the Bulldogs 3-2, with goals from Smith and Sharpe.

The boys’ next game is against Blair on Dec. 15. “I think we have a really good chance of winning. It is important for us to stay humble so we don’t underestimate our opponent. Keeping the thought of an undefeated season on our minds will help us concentrate for sure,” sophomore Eric Quam said.
