Tecumseh boys soccer ready for strong year
Tecumseh High School returns a strong nucleus of 10 players from its boys soccer team that finished 14-3-2 last fall.
Arrows coach Jason Runner said the success has only made his team hungry for more in 2009.
“They’re really determined and focused on what they want to do,” Runner said. “They’ve worked hard and they’re gelling together. We’ve got team unity. It’s way early, but it’s nice to see that.”
The Arrows have a big group this season with 18 on varsity and 17 on the junior varsity. He said the competition has been a good thing for the program.
“There are a lot of people fighting over those positions,” Runner said. “Practices are really intense.”
Forward Zach Schwartz is the team’s returning leading scorer with eight goals and four assists last season.
“He’s going to be dangerous up top,” Runner said.
He said his team has several kids who can score on set pieces and corner kicks.
“We’re really dangerous with everybody,” Runner said.
The Arrows are hoping to claim the CBC Kenton Trail Division title this season after finishing second to Tippecanoe last fall. It was ties to Graham and Shawnee last year that hurt their chances, and Runner hopes they’ve learned from it.
“Hopefully, this year we’re focused more and know that anything can happen at anytime,” Runner said.
Runner knows his group is willing to do whatever it takes to win.
“They’ve got the desire and the want,” Runner said. “They really devoted themselves to that. I can really just sit back and let them play.”
