Tri-Valley soccer gets fired up

On Friday, the boys’ varsity soccer team lost to S.S. Seward 7-1. To be blunt, losing isn’t exactly unfamiliar to the boys’ Tri-Valley soccer team.  The soccer team has suffered in the past with not having enough players to have a varsity and jayvee team and had to combine the two. The result is a young and inexperienced team challenged to keep up with the competition.

This year, however, there’s a glimmer of hope. With the help of some new players coming out, a new coach and a renewed drive to succeed, they may just be the team to watch this season. Anthony Beale is a sophomore striker who is well known at Tri-Valley to be passionate about soccer. It’s also no secret that Beale has a talent when it comes to the sport. Beale is realistic about his goals for the team, but there is a distinct gleam of excitement in his eyes as he talks about the season.

“There’s more experience on the team this year than there was last year,” he says, “we’re a young team still and we have some things to work on, but we have potential.”

“It’s a tough division,” says Beale, “but I’m looking forward to playing and improving overall as a team, and just having a good season.”

Keep your eyes on Anthony Beale, along with a few other new and talented players (like his brother, senior Bobby Beale) this fall. The struggling sport of boys’ soccer at T-V will be fighting tooth and nail to go as far as they can go in what’s sure to be an exciting season for all Bears. The looming start of school means it’s game time once again and these Bears are ready to play.
