Game 0: Old-Time Blue Gold (Varsity vs JV)
24 August vs. JV (8-0)

Beyond Pancake Breakfast 2024



It was the official kick-off to the season: Pancake Breakfast and PreSeason Meeting, a day that always ends with a good old-fashioned Blue-Gold match. (Our senior moms, under the direction of Mrs. Ragan, created quite an event to start the year.)

The game featured—really—the first time this year our Varsity actually playing as a team against our JV. These matches tend to be lopsided, although throughout Saint Thomas Aquinas history some of these matches have ended 2-1, 3-2, etc. This match wasn't one of those matches.

In two, thirty-minute halves the varsity laid out an 8-0 spread of our junior varsity. Who knows what this means. I do, however, think Coach Eric will have a very good JV this fall.

Brody Siebert, our 140-Beeper striker, scored 4 times. Our new left-wing, Omar Sarmiento, added two assists and a goal. So we did feature some early offensive star power against the JV while the defense did not allow many sniffs.

This match might whet our whistle, but it doesn't mean a lot in the grand scheme of things. This Friday night will mean something.
