The Strathmore Spartans high school boys soccer team was glad to add some players from different school sports to improve their teams performance on the field.
“Our team is finally coming together now that we have all our badminton players done with provincials and our hockey player home from the Telus Cup,” said head coach Kaitrin McDonnell.
She had a sense of relief since the team just got their first victory a week ago.
“We are sitting at one win versus FHCS (Foothills Composite High School) last week and four losses,” said McDonnell. “With a win under our belt and five goals finding its way to the back of the net, we are looking forward to playing the rest of this seasons games before heading to zones May 29-30.”
Despite some struggles, she has seen a lot of upside with this group.
“We have nothing but room to improve and the next couple of seasons we are going to be great – we’ve improved on communication and getting shots on net,” said McDonnell. “We need to still work on being first to the ball and getting the smart pass out, not just a fast-reaction pass.”
The Spartans resumed their season on May 13 in Canmore (result not available as of press time.) The team will play their next game at home on May 20 (4:30 p.m.) when they face Holy Trinity Academy.
