GORHAM — This year the Gorham boys’ soccer team is a young but focused group of players. A team of 24 (varsity, swing and JV) showed up to play this year, most are sophomores and freshmen, five returning juniors and two returning senior along with two new seniors out for the Huskies.
This is exciting because we are looking forward to this building year while still looking to make our mark as a team to take seriously. Possession through simple passing and strategic runs are still the strategy. We will need to win that 50-50 ball and put goals in the net.
