Boys' Soccer Season Flies to a Finish

by Anna Skubal

Sadly the Platteville/Lancaster Boys’ Soccer season of 2014 has drawn to an end. As you can probably tell from the abundance of green shirts walking the halls, the boys were conference champions with an 11-1-0 (win-tie-loss) record this season. When you add in the out-of-conference games and tournaments, they were 14-2-6. All of their losses came from games against Division 1 schools, while they the Hillmen are in Division 3. This season has been great and next year looks just as promising. 
We will be saying farewell to 11 seniors this year who will be dearly missed by the whole team. They could use some players to replace the 11 that will be gone for next year. "If you're even thinking about it, you should just go out! We need more players and Brandon is the best coach you could ask for!" exclaims Nick Mewhirter (‘17). 
"This year was a great learning experience; everybody was very helpful in my transition from football to soccer, and I can't wait for next year. State 2k15!" As mentioned enthusiastically by Logan Weaver (‘17), the ultimate goal of the team each season is to win the state game. But, before State comes conference, separate tournaments, and multiple games against Mount Horeb, their long standing rival. 
The boys practice all summer for the 90 minutes that they get to show all the hard work that they put in. "A student section would be great. I'd love to look up at the stands and see my classmates cheering," says Mikey Musarra ('18).
