Three junior varsity teams began interscholastic competition this week as the soccer teams traveled to Carroll and the football team visited Fessenden. Girls’ soccer ended up on the wrong side of the score despite some standout individual performances. Second-year captain Abigail Chang showed tremendous effort on both sides of the field and newcomer Emily Wang provided some spark on the ball. Boys’ soccer flipped the script with a 5-0 win thanks to a balanced scoring attack. Five players, Kabir Sonawane, Gael Cruz Marcos, Max Kishlansky, Woody Evans, and Rubin Xiao, all found the back of the net in the opener. The football team followed suit and also notched a shutout. Ronan Patel led the way offensively with three touchdowns and Suryavir Nallari-Jhala added a crucial pick-six on defense. Collectively, the three teams competed hard and began to establish their identities on the field.
