Boys Soccer Team Secures Banner
by Omar Arce
To win a banner. That is the ultimate goal of joining a sport. Not to get in shape, not to fraternize, and certainly not to appear at the assembly. The men soccer team won the South Bay Metro League banner. In Hollywoodesque way, the Raiders won the banner at their last home game vs. Sweetwater. With a great attendance, the home crowd was euphoric. And the home team was not different. "There is always pressure before a game. but in this case there was more exitment to know that the banner was just 80 mins away from our hands," said Senior defender, Pedro Bonillas.
The victory was not overwhelming, but the 2-1 score was enough to secure the banner. The goals were scored by Defender Jonnhy Coronado, and Captain Alexis Guadalupe. With only a one point difference from Castle Park the raiders secured the banner. "Its a great feeling knowing that our team deserved it, and it just feels incredible," proclaimed Pedro Bonillas.
When the referee blew the final whistle, the crowd ran to the field and surrounded Coach Medina, jumping, chanting and screaming. Medina did not know at first what to do, when he saw the crowd running towards him, and decided to embrace them, by starting jumping, and chanting with them.
However, the celebration must not go to their head, the raiders will play Ramona this Wednesday at 7 PM. Now the goal is to go to CIF finals. Luck will be needed, along with great goals.
