Glenn Walrond doesn\u2019t exactly consider himself a superstitious person.<\/p>\n
He may want to be this spring.<\/p>\n
Because if last season is any indication, the Kentridge High boys soccer team could be in for a wild ride this season.<\/p>\n
Sure, on the surface Kentridge\u2019s 2008 campaign seems fine enough. The Chargers came within two points of making the South Puget Sound League playoffs and finished above .500. What stands out, however, is the number six, which is the amount of ties that went in the books for the Chargers last season.<\/p>\n
Walrond, now in his 12th season with the team, has seen that many ties in a season just twice before.<\/p>\n
But the last time \u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cWe won the division the next year,\u201d said Walrond. \u201cI talked to all those kids, all those ties could have been losses \u2026but they also could have been wins. That extra push in a game could do it. We\u2019ve been trying to harp on effort and intensity all spring.\u201d<\/p>\n
Though they aren\u2019t the favorites to win the North Division title this season, the Chargers certainly have enough talent to nab one of the four allotted playoff berths. Much of that lies in a stellar group of returning starters, led by junior forward Scott Geffre, a first-team all-leaguer last year. Also back in the mix are starters Alex Ferguson (goalkeeper), Paul Bascole (defender), Greg Sever (midfielder), Sean Dunn (midfielder), Sam Piehler (midfielder\/forward) and David Cahoon (defender).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe league is pretty wide open,\u201d Waldron said. \u201c(But) I\u2019d put us in the top four.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
