The 2015 Canfield Cardinals High School boys and girls soccer teams were officially introduced during the teams’ Meet the Team event on Aug. 18. Boys and girls Head Coach Phil Simone introduced the girls varsity and boys varsity team members, while girls junior varsity members were introduced by Girls JV Coach Aleesha Denmeade and members of the Boys Junior Varsity team were introduced by Boys JV Coach Kyle Reese.
“Every team member has trained hard and worked hard to prepare for the upcoming season and have enjoyed team building experiences,” Simone said.
In introducing the girls varsity team, Simone had a warning for the team.
“I have told the girls they have a target on their backs. Everyone wants to beat us after winning so many district championships. And now that we are moving up to Division 1, that target increases. With the hard work these players have put in and with the talent they have, they can lead us to another district championship. They work together as a team and they can overcome anything anyone throws at them,” Simone said.
Simone also had some wise words for the boys varsity team.
“This team has to take one game at a time and not look ahead. They have high expectations, but must go slowly and take one game at a time. This team can accomplish anything they want to,” Simone said.
The Canfield High School Soccer Boosters hosted the evening for the teams and their family and friends in the high school cafeteria.
