Boys Tournament Monday

Dear Parents of Boys Soccer Players,

Our first game of the tournament will be Monday at 9:30. If you plan on having your child driven to the field from the school please have them here no later than 8:40 as we will be leaving at 8:45 to go to Cape Christian. If you would like to take your child straight to Cape Coral Christian, that is fine, but they need to be there no later than 9:00. Also, if you are planning on taking them straight to the tournament it would be very helpful if you let me know. You can reach me at 728-8664 any time to let me know. We will leave promptly at 8:45 so please make sure kid is at Good Shepherd if they need a ride. If there are a few parents who are willing to drive that would be helpful as well. If we win the 9:30 game our next game will not be until 1:30. If we were to lose, which we won't, then our next game will be at 11:30. Thank you for all of your help.

In Him,
Coach Neff

The Crazy Week and Tournament Schedule

In the craziness that is this week of soccer both the boys and girls lost back to back games against Christ Lutheran. Tough losses for sure but ones that can be used as building blocks for both teams, especially as they face Cape Christian today. With the tournament coming up on Monday and Tuesday it would be great for the Rams and Lady Rams to end the regular season on a win so we could use your support if at all possible today at 3:30 for the ladies and 4:45 for the men. The tournament has been changed somewhat in that the boys will be playing on this coming Monday, but the girls will be playing on Tuesday. There just simply was not enough time to fit both guys and girls into one day. While we don't know exactly what time the games will start it will either be 8:30 or 9:30 for both teams. As soon as the finalized times are given out I will let everyone know. Thank you for your support.

Boys and Girls Soccer Wins 4/20

Yesterday both the girls and boys teams played fantastic games against Noonan Academy of Fort Myers and came away the victors in both. The girls continue their winning streak and their fantastic record as they won 6-0. For the boys it was much closer, especially until late in the game. Tied at 4-4 T.J. Bubar took the punt from T.J. Murray and struck it with power off the first bounce and put it right in the corner for a 5-4 lead. After that Colby Brownell and Sean Cohan got their first goals of the season to clinch a 7-4 victory avenging the boys early season loss to Noonan. All the boys played well and again Brian Cameron and Ricky Bethune got on the score sheet as well and the defense played a great second half especially. With three games in a row next week we will definitely be tested, but I'm sure both teams will continue in the right direction. Have a good weekend.

Soccer Season Update

Well, the soccer season is a third of the way over and both the Lady Rams and the Rams soccer teams have been impressive. The girls have started the season off with 4 wins and one loss, but will look to avenge that loss tomorrow (Thursday) when they host Covenant. The 8th graders have made a big impact for the Lady Rams, but the younger players have certainly held their own especially in the two wins this past week. The boys team, while unable to play as many games or practice too much, have been quietly improving and have a record of 1 win, 1 loss and 1 tie. The defense and the substitutes have been fantastic and the goals have been flowing in from Brian Cameron, Ricky Bethune, T.J. Bubar and T.J. Murray (the boys goalie, but has been scoring on free kicks of which he is 2 for 3). The boys return to action after Spring Break on Tuesday April 17th. I hope to see you there.

Don't forget the girls play tomorrow against Covenant!!

In Him,
