SOCCER

IT’S A 4-PEAT!!!!!!

Congratulations to St. Paul’s 2002 Soccer Team! This will be the 4^th year in a row they have won the League Championship and the Tournament Championship Game. WE ARE PROUD OF YOU! Sean Halpin, Kenny Argueta and Carley Reiley were named as the players for the Diocesan All-Star Game. In my book and a lot of others, after a 4-peat, there wasn’t a member on that team that wasn’t an all-star!!!!

The team had a special reason to win this year. Word had spread that Coach Bailie would be putting up her soccer cleats at the end of this school year after coaching the St. Paul’s Soccer Team for 21 years. When asked how she had first started to Coach Soccer, I learned she was told her son’s team would not have a Coach unless she was willing to take on the job! So…for 21 years Coach has made sure the students of St. Paul’s were able to have a team! THANKS COACH! For those of you lucky enough to see the tournament championship game played against the Christ-the-King Ravens, it was a nail-biter!

At the end of the game, when we realized we had won…Coach Bailie was lifted and hugged by her son and team members! St. Paul’s played with all their hearts….and were able to deliver Coach’s last ‘great’ victory!

Coach Bailie has turned over her coaching position to Chris Stouffer, who is currently teaching Art at St. Paul’s. Well…will it be a 5-Peat! TIME WILL TELL! I say, GO FOR IT!!!!
