Page 69 - CBA 1991 YEARBOOK

The Modified Soccer teams ex­
perienced a period of growth and
learning with their coaches. For most
of the young athletes the teams were
the first times they had a real chance
to play soccer.
Boys' Modified Soccer had a rea­
sonably good season, with four wins
and seven losses. Coach Kevin Con­
roy thought that one of the best
games of the season was against
North Syracuse, on a very cold and
rainy afternoon. After winning two
to zero, Chris Engle and other play­
ers slid head first through the mud
Young Kickers
onto the sidelines. A highlight of the
season was a scrimmage against CBA
Albany, whose coach was Brother
James McDevitt, the former JFi prin­
cipal at CBA, The championship of
the season was against Jamesville-
Dewitt Middle School. The score was
three to one in JD's favor, but they
played an excellent game neverthe­
less.
Girls' Modified Soccer season
started out slowly. Even though they
practiced a lot and worked hard,
they were not able to win a game
at first, but they kept their spirits up
and hoped for the best. Later on,
they finally won a game against
Fowler, near the end of the season.
They played aggressively, and it
payed off.
Their coach, Heidi Seamans,
taught them a lot about the game
and was very well-liked by her play­
ers. She encouraged them not to give
up and to continue working hard.
They lost their last game of the sea­
son, but they had fun playing, and
that is what really counts.
