Kicking Off The New

Newark has two new coaches this year. The head coach is Tyler Engle and his assistant is Mr. Fitzer, who is also the school's social worker.

"Coach Engel is an experienced soccer player that has played professionally. I can see his experience when he coaches. He has really made this team better each day. The team seems to be in sync, and I think as the year continues we can only get better as long as we stay healthy. It's been a really fun start!" said Coach Fitzer.

There are 24 athletes on the team this year, 16 athletes from Seneca and 8 athletes from Newark. There are two goalies on the team this year, Silas Odum from Seneca and Neal Knutson from Newark.

"We have a very young team this year. We have 8 freshmen, 8 sophomores, 4 juniors, and 4 seniors. There are 4 freshmen and two sophomores that start on the team. This is great news considering we have a really good team this year. It gives us a lot of potential for years to come. We will be losing some great seniors after this season, Nicholas Bartkus, Tom Bartkus, Cole Westmoreland, and Neal Knutson," said Coach Fitzer.
