Bay High Alumni 6, Bay Varsity 4

The First Annual Bay High Alumni Soccer Game was held on Monday December 21 at 10 AM on the practice field. It was a tremendous success and I really want to thank all the alumni players who came and played, and quite well I might add. It was great to see you all.

At kick off you could here the rumblings from the Varsity Team '09, "we're going to get killed" and the Alumni were joking about how long it would take them to get warm and stretch..."I could warm up for an hour and I still wouldn't be ready". The game was played in three 20 minute periods to give the alumni multiple water breaks.

The alumni came out pretty fast and with combination play at pace that made it readily evident that they had played together before. But the Bay Varsity stepped right up with passing and movement of their own making this a competitive yet clean game.... very entertaining.

Alumni players attending: Jarod Leighton (06), Mark Gerlecz (06), Chris Trawick (06), Chris Carr (06), Travis Thompson (06)

Jake Sosthiem (07)

Kenneth Middleton (08), Scott Carroll (08), Clinton Howell (08), Justin Manchester (08)

Omar Hernandez (09), Alec Kotrous (09), Daniel Weber (09), Alex Harris (09).

Alumni Goal Scorers: Mark Gerlecz 2, Jarod Leighton 2, Scott Carroll 1, Justin Manchester 1. Keepers: Chris Carr 5 SVs, Travis Thompson 5 Saves.

Bay Varsity Goal Scorers: Ashton Hicks 2, Seth Lippmann 1, Jarod Wilkins 1. Keepers: Chris Trotter 6 SV's, Gunner Thrasher 5 SV's.

Coaches Raising the Bar

-Written prior to 2005 season

One of the primary goals of the coaching staff is to constantly raise the ceiling of expectations for both individuals and the teams. One key method we use to achieve this is by scheduling games with teams above our classification. This practice forces our players to improve their skills while playing at a higher level of competition. The positive return of this system is usually realized after 2 - 3 years, however, improvement in individual skill is almost immediate.

What does this mean for the team? The biggest impact is felt by the JV squad. The level of technical ability, speed of play and physicality is many times more acute than these young players are accustomed, therefore a learning curve must be expected...some losses will be realized. (It's all part of the process.) Players must understand that losing is a vital component in learning your weaknesses and improving performance.

2005-2006: Since this approach was utilized, focusing on the individual player as well as team chemistry, Coach Houpt & Trawick completed the season resulting in Bay High Schools first District Championship in 18 years.

2006-07: Varsity Records are many times used to gauge the overall health of a program. The Varsity had a benchmark season with the best season in more than a decade along with these other accomplishments. (17-2-3) The Team also set new school records for:

• Most consecutive wins without a loss (16)

• Highest Goals For Average (3.1)

• Lowest Goals Against Average (1.0)

• First season to remain in the top two in the district 2 years in a row.

2007-08: Varsity team once again makes it's mark in Bay High and Bay County history by winning The District Championship and continuing a roll of three consecutive years in the top 2 positions in the district. A record never before achieved by a boys High School soccer team in Bay County.

2008-09: Varsity team wins District Championship again for the third time out of four seasons. A record never before achieved by a boys High School soccer team in Bay County. (17-8-3) More notable achievements:

• Won more District games than Mosley, Rutherford, Arnold combined.
• 2nd place in Gainesville "Bobcat" Tournament. Beat former 4A State Champion Rockledge, 2-0 & Current 3A State Champion, P.K. Yonge, 1-0.
