On Tuesday, October 23^rd, the boys varsity hosted Bernalillo for the last home game of the season.

As animals marched two by two, the boys started their warm up. The deluge was remarkable but not quite as bad as the sleet from the week before.

This was senior day, and all ten of them started. Even with the rain, the Academy was able to possess and connect passes. Inside of two minutes, the ball came down the right wing through Kenny Levandoski ’19 to Lucas Jepsen ’19 who sent a low shot towards goal. The Bernalillo keeper parried the ball and Spencer Ghattas ‘19 swooped in and scored.

From there the floodgates (yes, the rain really was torrential) opened. According to NMAA rules, once forty minutes have passed, a game will be called if one team leads by ten goals. The Academy scored its tenth goal in the forty-sixth minute. Scorers were

              Lucas Jepsen                    4 goals, 2 assists

              Jackson Taylor                 2 goals, 2 assists

              Kenny Levandoski           2 goals

              Aaron Hill                          1 goal

              Spencer Ghattas              1 goal

              Ryan Sabol                       1 assist

              Curtis McNary                  1 assist

              Nat Patton ’22                 1 assist

They are Tai Durell, Spencer Ghattas, Aaron Hill, Lucas Jepsen, Kenny Levandoski, Nolan McKeever, Curtis McNary, Ryan Sabol, Yannick Schlenzig, and Jackson Taylor.
