September 15, the Patriots varsity soccer team faced New Community School. This was a non-league game that we scheduled to bring in fresh blood for the Patriots to play. Overall both offense and defense performed very well. Due to Coach Armstrong's unexpected absence for this game, the members of the team were required to call themselves in and out for substitutions. Going into the second half the score was 4 to 0 with the Patriots leading. In the second half New Community began to play rougher and one of their players was awarded a yellow card for his third rough foul. The Patriots played well on offense, scoring 8 goals total. Jesse Bogert, Cailey Smith, Kevin Kemp, Daniel Pegram, and Ryan Milby each scored once, with Michael Roberts leading the way with three goals. The Patriots offense had 32 shots on the goal and the defense allowed only two shots on against their goalie Davis Mercer, none of which scored. All in all the game went well, the abilities of homeschoolers were evident, and our faith was shown by our attempt to competitively deal with the rough play of the opponents.
