On Tuesday the boys’ soccer team took on DPL rival Denver West and defeated them with ease with a final score of 4-0. The Cowboys of West are just one of the many 4A DPL rivals the Spartans must beat to have a high seed in the playoffs, and with the outcome of Tuesday’s matchup a high seed is definitely in reach. “Today’s win is a huge step forward,” said senior midfielder David Sanchez, whose leadership on and off the field has been a morale boost for the entire team.
With the playoffs quickly approaching, the Spartans look to prep vigorously in order to bring the first playoff win to TJ in over thirty years. Students all around school are noticing the success the boys are having this year, and the buzz is growing. More and more fans are making appearances at games, and the wins just keep piling up.
The boys are on a recent hot streak of wins, with two wins last week over Ridgeview Academy and Montebello, and this week’s win against West. The Spartans look to continue their dominance and keep their momentum through until the playoffs, with two more games this season against Kent Denver and Evergreen.
