2020-21 Boys Varsity Soccer Preview
Comments from Head Coach Bryan Sherman
“I am excited to see what our group can do this year. We have a nice large number of returning players, along with a few new faces that could really develop into a strong team. We know there will be some adversity to handle, but I am confident this group has the maturity and desire to really compete well.” –Coach Bryan Sherman
Athletes To Watch
Miles Miller (senior) Miles will be playing his third year of varsity soccer with Cooper. He really grew as a player during the season last year and started playing his best soccer for us as it ended. Miles is a box-to-box midfield player who can make the interception needed to start an attack and finish it on the other end. He will be vital to the team's success.
Michael Black (junior) is in his second year on the varsity team at Cooper. Last season, Michael played a pivotal role in central midfield. He often does the dirty work of tracking back and stopping counter attacks, along with being a facilitator in our attack and helping the team keep and maintain possession. Michael will be asked to do even more for the group this season, and he is eager to succeed.
