The Jonathan Law boys soccer team is undefeated this season. 

The team has had great success so far, as they are 7-0 as of October 4. After defeating Wilbur Cross 1-0 on September 30, they have officially qualified for states. 

“My goal this year is to prepare the team to have Law’s best record in the last 20 years and to be in the position to have a home game for states,” head coach Mr. Gruber said. 

The team is right on track to achieve this goal. Senior captain Lex Edwards has definitely made his mark on the field so far this season. 

With 10 goals in seven games, Edwards is setting the bar high. 

“As an individual I want to keep stacking up the goals when we need them and provide as many assists as possible,” said Edwards. “I also do my best to back up my teammates when they are vulnerable, whether it is on defense, offense, or any altercation that happens with an opponent.” 

The boys success does not stop there as they are currently ranked #2 among Class M/S schools in the state. This does not just come from talent but the tight bond the team has developed throughout the season so far. 

“We have begun to mesh really well as a team,” senior captain Aidan King said. “We are working towards the same goals and every single player on the field is willing to make sacrifices to the guy next to them” 

The soccer team looks to be aggressive throughout the entirety of every game. King said the team works well when they continuously attack and score early on. 

The team is not complete without their goalkeeper and senior captain Jaden Wywoda. Wywoda has only let up four goals in seven games.

“I strive to let up as few goals as possible each game, to give our team the best chance of winning,” said Wywoda. “We have fun while playing too, which makes us even better.” 

Luckily, there are not any COVID-19 restrictions this year except for masks and social distancing on the bus to away games. The team separates themselves away from people of the same position, in order to minimize loss of players in case of contact. 

Every player is responsible for staying healthy and continuing to follow the precautions to stay safe throughout the season, on and off the field. 

 “We have been working hard with our coach, athletic trainer, and athletic director to keep our teammates as safe and healthy as possible,” senior captain Jackson Warters said. “We really want to put precautions first and stay safe in order to continue our outstanding season.”
