Kindergarten Soccer Team Captures 2nd Place

In soccer action today, the youngest Knights (our kindergarten squad) ended a great season by capturing second place (out of seven teams) in the St. Mary Star of the Sea indoor league.


In today's championship game, they scored first against St. Bruno, but in the end lost 3-1 to the Trailblazers in a match that was fast, aggressive and occasionally rough. St. Joe's players were on the receiving end of several hard fouls, with one starter leaving the game with an injury after being tripped.

All season long, the Knights played impressively. They were well coached and supported strongly by parents, grandparents and others who filled the stands with spirited applause and encouragement.

Congratulations, kindergarten Knights. You played with speed, skill and good sportsmanship. You have a bright future. We're proud of you!

They earned an impressive win, scoring early and jumping out to a 4-1 halftime lead over St. Mary Star of the Sea.

They maintained their intensity in the second half and rolled to a 7-2 victory over the Spartans.

While both teams were evenly matched in terms of speed, the Knights' effort was marked by superior skill, tenacity and goaltending.

Third/Fourth Graders Beat St. Richard in Soccer

If the headline of this blog post looks familiar, it is!

It is nearly identical to the headline from a week ago, when the third/fourth grade Knights beat the St. Richard Rockets (black squad), 6-1.

Well earlier today, the Knights (blue jerseys) did it again, this time defeating St. Richard's white squad, 7-1.

Despite facing a team that was slightly taller and larger, the Knights again showed that there is no substitute for speed, skill and determination.

In fact, the game was nearly a shutout until the Rockets scored their lone goal with just 1:18 remaining in the contest.

The Knights' next game is set for 1:30 p.m. Sunday, February 12, when they will face the blue squad from St. Bede the Venerable.

Games are played indoors at the St. Mary Star of the Sea Parish Center, 4626 West 63rd Street.

Come on out and cheer on the Knights. See you there?
