SOH Men's Soccer Rules!

Ole ole ole ole !

There's one thing about the varsity soccer team at Southwest High: Throughout the years they've created themselves a good reputation and earned everyone's respect for always bringing a new League Champ's banner into our gym. Every time they have a game, the players wear their jerseys with pride, because to them "being part of the varsity team is an honor!" proclaimed Victor Andrade, who is part of the team for the second year. Andrade adds: "It's just something much greater than being part of it, because the people there become your family"

Currently, the varsity soccer team is tied in first place with Castle Park High School in the league. They're five games away from knowing if they'll receive a banner this year. However, the team remains optimistic and has faith that they'll be successful in these upcoming games. As for the team, they're practicing hard every day. After all, being a soccer player isn't easy, it requires skills, speed, endurance, but most importantly it takes dedication and commitment of wanting to improve and be the best team of the league. "My experience has just been awesome, I have met and played next to really good soccer players along these 2 years and I have the honor of being part of the team who won a banner for SOH." says Victor.

If the team wins League champs, they'll move on to CIF where they will compete against other champ schools, and hopefully will bring a white banner to our gym as well.
Good luck SOH Varsity soccer, make us proud once again!


"Playing soccer with your feet is one thing, but playing with your heart is another. It takes an athlete to play soccer, but an artist to be a soccer player. Anyone who thinks sunshine is happiness has never played soccer in the rain. Soccer players aren't made of their technique,but made by there passion!
Never let the odds keep you from pursuing what you know in your heart you were meant to do!"
