The boys’ varsity team brought the victory home after a hard battle with Mazama. Rosendo Juarez (9) helped the team by scoring one goal, Fernando Rodriguez (14) also scored a goal and Carlos Camacho helped the team with three goals, making the score end at 5-0. The coaches couldn’t be happier with such a united and strong team. Coach Flenner couldn’t be happier with the boys because “as a team, this is one of [his] best” (Flenner). With a record of 6-1, our boys have been playing hard, leading us to be 2nd in state. With wins of 2-1 vs. Cascade, 3-0 against Brookings, our boys have earned their spot. Sadly, we were defeated by Ashland with a score of 0-3. With Ashland being a 5-A school, our team was still very competitive compared to other schools such as KU, who lost to Ashland with a score of 9-2, a fact that opens up doors for the Pirates being able to compete at a very strong level with other teams. On Monday, September 21, the boys played against Klamath Union and let’s just say they owned it, winning with a score of 6-0. Samuel Macias (7), Joel Mereida (5), Fernando Rodriguez (14), Jesus Sixtos (8), Alex Gutierrez (12), and Christian Camacho (11) all helped the team by each scoring a goal. And on September 24, the boys took the win once again against Hidden Valley with a score of 3-0. Christian Camacho scored all three of those goals with an amazing assist by Rosendo Juarez (9). On Monday the 28^th, they traveled all the way to North Valley and won with a score of 3-1. The boys play hard and the people cheer harder, home games are played at Colver Field, from 4:30 to 6, and what’s a team without its audience? Come support our Pirates on Mondays and Thursdays during any home game. Let’s go Pirates!

 

The JV is keeping up with the Varsity team! Winning a game against the Milo Mustangs with a score of 5-2. Succeeding once again by defeating Klamath Union with a score of 2-0.

Bryson Flenner (9) and Joel Flores-Ortega (8) have been helping the team by scoring a goal each. Hidden Valley lost a battle against our Pirates! With a score of 3-0.  Making that a record of 5-1!
