I was able to see some of the Spring action (while trying to herd my kids as well at the games). The Vaughn Football Club match was a great night for watching. Crowd was pretty sparse, but Logan Gdula as well as some of the basketball players were in attendance.
While it's never the same when the season rolls around, it LOOKED like this below was the starting XI. Defense is still gelling and had many misfires and mishits. Chol was pretty good up top, but we had some big gaps between him and the rest of the midfield. We were still doing good moving the ball around and had the better chances, but we need to finish, which may become a lingering issue. With this newish back 4, we are going to give up some goals, so we're going to need to put some of the board throughout the season instead of relying on the defense to hold clean sheets. I may have missed 1 or 2 below with no names and number changes and new faces and a frosh in the mix, but you get the idea.
I don't recall seeing Parente or Zarris starting, but I was somewhat expecting them to start next season. I imagine another freshman or two may come in a be an impact player from the jump. Overall, the talent is there, and there will likely be some great position battles. Hopefully the Journal gets a few pre-season articles out as they seemed to continually increase their coverage each season.
