\"Pueblo<\/a><\/p>\n

This past year, Pueblo\u2019s athletics department has consistently risen to challenges and reached awesome success. This has also been the scenario for Pueblo\u2019s boys\u2019 soccer team.<\/p>\n

The boys\u2019 team was able to successfully take the win in 10 out of 12 of their season games; as a result of this phenomenal record, the team will be headed to playoffs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a great season,\u201d said Brayan Urias, a senior who is midfielder for Pueblo\u2019s soccer team. \u201cI think this team has been the best to play at Pueblo.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Saturday, February\u00a06, the boys were able to take the win in their second round playoff game against NFL YET Academy with the final score of 7-2. This is the first time that Pueblo soccer has gotten this far with an opportunity\u00a0to place in state.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve come a long way from where we started and we\u2019ve definitely changed our mindset about how much effort we need to put in,\u201d said David Greenwood, a senior who plays forward for the team.<\/p>\n

Senior Erick Garcia, another midfielder for the boys\u2019 soccer team, said, \u201cOut of my four years playing here at Pueblo, this team is my favorite because most of us have played club soccer together, and that just adds to the dynamic chemistry we have out in the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

The boys\u2019 next game is at 5:00 p.m.\u00a0on Wednesday, February 10, at Tucson High School, where they will take on Glendale Prep.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope we are able to bring another state banner into Pueblo\u2019s Lever Gym,\u201d added Garcia.<\/p>\n

If the boys are able to win in the semifinals game against Glendale Prep, they will move on to the championship game\u00a0and will represent Pueblo at the highest level.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am confident we can make it to State final,\u201d said senior Mario Rodriguez, a midfielder on the team. \u201cThroughout the entire season, everyone on the team has put in the effort to play to the best of their ability and represent Pueblo with pride.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Francisco Urtuzuastegui, Pueblo\u2019s boys\u2019 soccer coach, much like the rest of Pueblo, is extremely excited and proud of how much the team has accomplished this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe team consists of guys who are filled with so much enthusiasm [for soccer],\u201d Urtuzuastegui said. \u201cThey have really committed themselves to their practices, and I\u2019m extremely proud of them. I am confident that the boys can take State, which would be a great experience for them and to make it [their mark] at Pueblo. A State victory would \u00a0also be a very personal victory that they will remember for the rest of their lives.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
