JV
Boy Soccer: Starting Fresh
by Chris McElhatton
Usually, the boys J.V. roster
is filled with quite a few freshmen. As no there is no freshman soccer
team, it is not at all unusual to see some of Valley’s newest students
squaring off against some teams, like Mitty and Bellarmine, who are
chock full of sophomores and even juniors. Naturally, putting freshman
and juniors together seems slightly… unfair. Things are going to be
different this year.
Utilizing the skills of new boys J.V. Coach Ronald Jenkins,
the teams’ competitiveness is dramatically increasing. Ronald, a former
player for the varsity squad now attending San Jose State University,
has the boys working hard.
Right from the start of the tryouts, it was obvious something was
different. Usually greeted with only a handful of new recruits, the
new coach walked out on the field to see almost thirty players strapping
on their gear, and getting ready to play.
Things have only been getting better since. With many fresh new legs,
and some serious skill emerging, the team reared up for the pre-season
opener in the Lynbrook Tournament.
Losing their first match against a tough Gilroy opponent, the J.V.
team geared themselves up to dominate their next game against Lynbrook,
smashing their way to a 3-1 victory. The first goal came with a well-placed
ball into the box by freshman Jake Joseph, which
was skillfully trapped by sophomore Devin Rigg, who
then put the ball home, scoring the first goal of the year for the
J.V. team. Excited about their first half, sophomore George
Fahmy and junior Aaron Hutton.
“It was an exciting game” Coach Jenkins said. “The boys played well
and got what they deserved. This was the first win of many this season.”

Teacher Survey: Most
Embarrassing Holiday Moment?
Embarassing moments happen to everyone. They are not something
you can avoid or prevent, they are just part of life that most people
have learned to accept and shake off. Christmas brings joy but it
can also bring several embarrassing moments that a majority of people
would much rather forget. The events of Christmas such as the putting
up of the Christmas tree, or maybe trying to put together some of
the presents that say "assembly required" can bring those
most memorable Christmas moments.
