Sparta Soccer Does It Again!

These boys had a great season and got very far in it. The boys ended up winning their sectional final game against Osceola 3-0. This then proceeded them to state.

Sparta soccer is in Division 2 for their conference. This is the first year that soccer has ever made it into the state competition. Senior Captain Kevin Rasmussen stated, "All of our adrenaline were pumping and holding the plack that made us sectional champs and we're now going to state."

The big game was on October, Friday 30th down in Milwaukee at the Uihlein Soccer Park. The team ended up facing Fox Valley Lutheran. This was so big game that a fan bus was even sent down there as well. "It took a while to set in but it was just over all awesome. The best way to end a season," stated Kevin Rasmussen.

The game started out on a good note when our boys scored in the first half. That person being the goalie Jordan Stanek. He made a kick so big that it made it into the other goal end and right over the opposite goalie. "This was very exciting and having all of the fans there made it even better," Rasmussen explained.

But then came the other half of the game. They held Fox Valley off pretty well until now. Then they ended up scoring a few goals on the Spartans. This made the final 1-4 with everyone still putting on a good fight. "I was thinking did this really just happen were we really playing at the state competition? It was just an amazing feeling and just being so happy it was awesome," Kevin Rasmussen concluded.

Fox Valley Lutheran ended up winning state for Division 2 and for the Sparta boys, they're still loving the fact that they made it to state and will never forget this moment, especially for the seniors. Congratulations to our soccer boys! You all had a great season. And as the team says, "Sparta soccer was keepin it sexy this year!"
