The 8th grade boys’ soccer team has concluded its season as HJPC champions! The championship match was held at The Village School (tournament hosts). The entire team thrived on hearing the cheers and roars of the crowd throughout the match. Thank you to all of our supporters!

The highly anticipated matchup versus Kinkaid began at 4:00. Just last week the Vikings suffered their first loss of the season to Kinkaid by a score of 3-1. At about the tenth minute, Samy F. scored from the left side of the box to give the Vikings a 1-0 lead! The momentum was kept by the Vikings in the second half as Gerardo G. blasted a penalty kick past the keeper to make the score 2-0. A few minutes later, Nicolas A. swung a left foot at a ball near the eighteen that found its way across the goal line (3-0). A beautiful cap to the scoring occurred when Julien R. hit a free kick from 40 yards out that found the head of Nicolas A. and he directed into the goal. What a brilliant header! The score was now 4-0 with fewer than 8 minutes remaining. The crowd was buzzing with excitement and the bench was anxiously awaiting the celebration soon to ensue with the players on the pitch. Three final blasts of the whistle and it was complete… The Village School Vikings have become HJPC Boys’ Soccer Champions for just the second time in school history! Samuel B. and Kasper V. both combined for the shutout win as they played behind an impeccable defensive line.

Coach Wolfe would like to credit every member of the team for his diligence, class, character, commitment, work ethic, attitude and integrity throughout the course of the season. These great young men exemplify incredible character that will certainly help them excel in life. Coach Wolfe would also like to thank all of the parents for their support throughout the season! Whether you were providing us with a pregame snack or driving about Houston to support our team, we were, and are, certainly grateful for you. Go Vikings!

Varsity boys soccer started off district play with a 4-0 loss at Awty, but they have bounced back nicely. Led by Senior forward Lewis H, our Varsity team went on to beat Katy St. Johns 5-2. Following that win, the boys took on Concordia Lutheran in a tightly contested match. Junior Forward, Owen M, scored two goals to give us a solid win. This week, the team takes on St. Thomas and St. Pius, which Coach Guevara feels should be two very good games. Good luck to our Varsity boys soccer team and Go Vikings!

The Boys Varsity Soccer team currently sits at 6-2, allowing a total of 6 goals in the 8 games so far. The offense has been led my senior Lewis H., who is leading the team in goals. The highlight of the season so far was taking second place in The Viking Cup tournament. After the break, the team will start its district schedule. The boys are excited to compete in a new district and at the 6A level. It should prove to be challenging, but nothing that the team can’t handle.
