as one of the captains for his courage, honesty and profes-
- sional attitude.”
Barrios is a striker. He started practicing with the coach a
month before the end of the school year, Constant said. “As
a striker, he is an excellent dribbler, passer and he develops
a lot by playing in team,” he said. “His selfishness some-
times is an advantage to penetrate in the opponent’s goal
and score.’
Nicassio also started practicing a month before the end of
the school year. “He is a mid, a good ball passer, a good
shooter, he has the ability to overlap, and is an excellent
dribbler,” said Constant.
Melton is a returning goal keeper but hasn't had the
opportunity to practice during the off-season because of his
: job. But Constant said he played well on the team last year
and “has the potential to demonstrate his ability to keep the
air ball. He is more than six-feet tall, and hopefully will be
~ able to join us when school starts.”
The seven seniors are Randy Kies, Tyler Deaton, Stephen
Hall, Tyler Maxey, Zack Howell, Andrew Dahl and
Jonathan Barrios.
Kies is a striker/mid and has experience on classic and
challenge soccer teams. He is one of the team captains.
“He is a skillful player,” said Constant. “He has many
years experience. The quality to describe him would take
up a whole page. His parents have helped him and his
brother with the passion they have for the sport. He is a big
hope for the team. He could be a college scholarship soccer
player.”
Deaton is a left defender/mid/striker. He is tough physi-
- cally, which enables him to run the ball with track speed,
Constant said. He is also one of the team captains.
“He always demonstrates a desire to move in order to
create space,” Constant said. “He is good covering defend-
- ers, has excellent body positioning, and is a good passer. He
is also eager to play in college.”
Hall is a center mid /striker and just joined the team
because of an ankle injury. But he has a lot of years experi-
ence in soccer. “Skillful, he is one of the best distributors on
the team,” Constant said. “After only one week or practice,
- he was expected to be slack after the injury. But he shows
just the opposite. He is excited to be a champion and he is
the most positive player.”
Maxey is a stopper/mid with a number of years experi-
ence. He didn’t have the opportunity to practice in the off-
season because of being involved in other activities. “He
- has the spirit of a champion,” Constant says. “He is a good

passer, he possesses the ability to move, to pressure and cre-
ate space. After one week of practice, he already demon-
strates his desire to bring a new spirit to the team.”
Howell is a right defender/stopper. Constant calls him
the team’s most improved player because of the desire he
puts into practice to make himself better.
“He has the ability to pressure, he is a good passer, he is a
simple player, and has one of the best attitudes,” Constant
says. “His character fits the team objective.”
Dahl is a defender /mid. He was injured most of the sum-
mer and hasn't practiced.
Barrios is a defensive-mid who also started practicing a
month before the end of school. His individual technique
will be an asset to the team, Constant said.
“He is an excellent distributor capable to number up in
the midfield to create any good opportunity for the team to
