The Jonathan Law boys soccer team experienced a rejuvenation this year with a return to the state playoffs. The Advocate Entertainment Editors interviewed Senior Captain Cole Alogna about the end of the season. 

Advocate Entertainment Editors: Do you believe you met your personal goals for this season? The team’s goals?

Cole Alogna: We set our standards high because we believed we could be the best. We wanted to beat Foran twice and reach the finals of the state playoffs. We weren’t able to reach those, but I’m really proud of how I played this season as well as how we played as a team. 

AEE: Is there anything you would change about how this season went?

CA: The only thing I would change about this season was our team’s health. I felt terrible for my teammates that went down with injuries and wish they could’ve played a full season with us this year. If we had a fully healthy team on the pitch this year, I think we could’ve made some serious noise. 

AEE: What was your favorite moment from this season?

CA: Scoring a goal against Wheeler was super cool and really memorable, especially because I’m a defender and don’t get many chances to score throughout the season. Besides that, I’m going to remember all of the pasta parties very fondly. 

AEE: What will you miss most about Law soccer?

CA: I’ll really miss getting to watch my underclassmen teammates improve everyday in practices and games. They improved so much throughout the season and I can see some great captains already being molded. I’ll also miss my coaches who helped me become the player I am. 

AEE: If you could give a piece of advice to the Law boys soccer captains next year, what would you tell them?

CA: A piece of advice I would give to the future captains of Law soccer is to be outgoing and not to be afraid to create relationships with your new teammates. It’s really important as a captain to make your new teammates feel welcome and can really positively affect the team.
