English Boys Soccer Forced To Forfeit Season Opener
Next up for the Blue and Blue is Burke next Tuesday at 3:30 p.m.
For 14 minutes Tuesday afternoon, the boys soccer team played competitively with Madison Park as both teams exchanged scoring opportunities, but the score remained knotted 0-0.
There was a fatal mistake lurking in the shadows, though. Around this time information came to light that five Blue and Blue players were ineligible due to either missing a physical examination or having a too-low grade point average. With only six players, English was forced to forfeit the game.
“Today, a lot of the guys do not have the physical,” said Blue and Blue head coach Victor Alves. “A few guys don’t have the GPA. It’s my problem.”
The coach hopes to have the issues resolved before English’s next scheduled game, which is Tuesday away at Burke High School.
“I think for the next game against Burke, our guys will be ready,” said Alves. “I think our guys will do their very best.”
