Under the guidance of Coach Tom Anderson (boys) and Coach Benny Veenhof (girls), both of our Center Drive Eagles soccer teams really pulled together, working with many young players and a new goalie on each team. Both teams demonstrated great sportsmanship and improved skills throughout the season, and both teams played hard the entire season. Our student athletes have so much to be proud of!
