The Poly girls and boys varsity soccer teams are preparing for their upcoming 2015-2016 seasons. Both teams have played in multiple non-league games to get ready for the soccer season to come.
The Jackrabbit’s first non-league game took place on Monday, November 30 against Huntington Beach High School, who beat Poly with two goals, one in each half. The boys came back to their next game ready to play and beat Crespi High School 3-0, with one goal in the first half and two in the second half.
The girls soccer team has had a rocky start to their season with multiple ties and losses, winning only once. Although the lady Jackrabbits have not started their season as well as they had hoped, many of the players are still expecting an exciting season. Their first non-conference game was on Tuesday, December 1, against Warren High who beat the Jackrabbits 4-0. Midfielder Skylar Herrera was selected as the Player of the Game. The girls also tied with both Downey High and Palos Verdes on December 3 and 7, both tied at (0-0). The lady Jackrabbits also tied (1-1) with Woodbridge on Thursday, December 10, where senior forward Tavia Leachman was selected player of the game.
Their most recent non-conference tournament game was on Saturday, December 12, against South Hills High School, where Poly won with a score of (1-0), pulling out their first win.
“We are playing well and adjusting to the new formations and players. I can tell we are going to build a strong team chemistry on and off the field. I can’t wait to compete and do well as a team this season,” said Leachman.
“Our team this year possesses great ability and talent. At this point, we are working things out to make sure we are successful during the season so we can secure another Moore League title. We also hope to make it to the finals in CIF playoffs and get that ring,” said senior midfielder Madi Brown.
Both the boys and girls teams will soon move into the Moore League season. Girls soccer has a home Moore League game versus Jordan on Tuesday, December 15, and boys soccer has an away, non-conference game against Los Alamitos High School on Wednesday, December 16.
