Kicking into High Gear

Newark Soccer is in full swing! Junior Tom says, "We have a lot of work ahead of us for this season, but we have a great group of young players coming up." Newark’s soccer team has been practicing the past few weeks to prepare for their first game. They played schools like Plano, Ottawa, Streator, and Harvest Christian Academy.

They beat Plano 3 to 0. Then they tied with Ottawa 3 to 3. Tom scored 5 of the goals in the first couple games. He is expected to have a great season and help lead the Norsemen to some big wins.

Newark has had many changes to the team this year. They lost seniors from last season, welcomed their new coach Ben Jacobs, and have already seen some freshman step up. Connor has been a huge part of the team so far this year. Senior Mitch says, “Connor brings a lot of energy and hustle to the field. He’s already scored some goals and we’re excited to see what him and the underclassmen can bring to the team.” Newark already has a few wins to start off the season. The team has a lot of returning seniors and some young talent coming up. Come support the team!
