Wyoming players after win against Northview[/caption]Wyoming soccer has been decent this season with a record of 8 wins, 5 losses, and 4 draws as of October 2nd. However, these past couple of weeks have been rough. Despite the 3-game losing streak, their 2-game win streak has made the players believe that they are still a good team.
Right-back position holder Dari Ochoa stated, “I think our soccer team is really good and our record shows that.”
This season, Wyoming is ranked 3rd in the OK Green League after winning their first, and only, league game so far this season. In their latest fixture, as of Oct 1, they drew to West Catholic 1-1.
This season so far has been similar to last year, as Wyoming went 10-5-4 last year, and we now look on pace to achieve a similar record this October 8 the Wolves defeated a tough Caledonia team in overtime. It was a huge win for the team.
Some of the players controversially claim that they are one of the better teams that Wyoming has had compared to other years.
“We are better than some other years when you look
at the players we have,” junior Dari Ochoa stated.
System-wise, the players say that it works well enough to win games because it is the best for them to show off their talent as a team.
“We pass a lot because it is our biggest tactical strength. Other teams just kick it far up the field,” Dari explained.
The players always strive to improve and work hard to do so. Practice is core to their success as a team.
“In practice, it’s either we make up plays or we play them out,” Dari said. “We usually do passing drills, since passing is our strong suit.”
When compared to other schools, the players believe that Wyoming is different from other teams, mostly because of their size.
“Since we have a smaller team, we would rather play on the floor and pass around teams instead of playing in the air,” Dari said.
For the most part, this team seems to be improving despite the dip in form, and they believe that they can achieve good things.
“I believe we can go far in this upcoming district tournament,” Dari assured.
For this team, growth is the number one objective. Wyoming High School believes in them.
