Spring Soccer Kicks Off Season Against Chatham

 Thank You to all who came out to support  the Spring Soccer Squad . These young men with all heart and competitive spirit proved that they can and will go the distance . This was the tale of two halves.  The first half found your HMA Kicks working the ball around some but just not finding the right combo .  We found ourselves down 3-0 at Halftime .
  Second half brought new light with the combination of  Sweeper Victor  clogging up the middle with tough tackles and pushing the ball up.   With the addition of Keltsen Hudson to the lineup supported the back line of Sackett , Nguyen, and Lopes .  Shawn  Dunkle subbed in  for late game  speed on the back line . All the while the  our Captain  Mu prowled the box allowing no one in his area.
 The  improved and tough play of Talal Baker is a vital part of this team as he kept a close watch on their senior Captain , limiting him to minimal touches in the second half .
  The movement of the ball that took place in the attacking third of the field in the second half was classic Hargrave soccer .  Give and Go action between  Captain  P. Fowlkes  , G. Mugabo and Collins Toby  allowed for some quite relaxed soccer .   TOBY cleaned up one in front of the net for his first goal , and minutes later  launched a shot that is worthy of Sports Center Top Ten .   
 Making it 3-2 .   Continuing to push and fight for the ball ,  listening to our opponent beginning to break down .   We  are a second half team .    The final whistle blew , but not before we let one slip by  in the very last second , and I do mean the very last second .   
FINAL SCORE  HMA 2    CHS  4
NEXT MATCH @ CHATHAM HIGH  7:30pm.   4-14-25
