The Jonathan Law boys soccer team is excited to kick off the new season.

Senior Captain Dan Majkut believes that the team is prepared to work hard and have a great season. 

“The key to a successful team is definitely working together,” Majkut said, “It’s all about building that team chemistry.”

It is only the beginning of the year so as the season progresses and this chemistry builds, the boys will get stronger not only as a team but a family.

One thing that would really help the team would be support from the students. Students are encouraged to go and support the team and have a big student section.

Junior Fillipe Mourao wants the students to go to the game next time they play Foran on Wednesday, October 30.

“We’d like to have a big student section at the home game against Foran,” Mourao said. “It would be nice to have students there supporting us.”

The team lost a lot of strong seniors from last year, which affected the team’s formation. The change in formation will take getting used to but will hopefully make the team stronger.

Despite losing some great seniors, the team gained a lot of new varsity players. These new players will hopefully add to the success of the team.

They have done well in the past and want to prove themselves as a strong team. Everyone on the team feels the same about their expectations for this season. 

“We hope to make states this year,” sophomore Jackson Warters said.

The team has made states in the past and are hoping to continue that and make it even farther this year. In addition to that, all the players want to beat Foran this season.

Junior Jon Contaxis also wants to build up the team and become stronger.

“Definitely we want to beat Foran at the end of the season,” Contaxis said. “Overall we just want to become a stronger team.”

Warters and Contaxis have both been varsity players since freshman year and have a pretty good idea of what it takes to win.
