Fitness Testing Friday at HHS Turf Field

 This is a slight repeat, and a more detailed one, of our final preseason session on Friday, prior to our three-day weekend.

All soccer candidates are invited to participate in fitness testing, utilizing the "Beep Test", a 20 yard shuttle run. This will take place on the HHS turf field. We'll follow this schedule:

3:30 - Freshmen

4:00 - Sophomores

4:20 - Juniors

4:40 - Seniors

Soccer shoes are the recommended footwear, since participant will be doing a lot of stopping and starting, and running shoes don't upper much support. Flat-soled trainers, like Sambas, are fine.  All participants must wear masks until they participate, and then afterwards.  All participants will be temperature checked, and be given hand sanitizer afterwards. Participants waiting for their turn must social distance on the sidelines. As is the case with all preseason activity this far, this is optional.

JV2 and Freshmen Cap the Season With a Classic

 Soccer seasons don't always end the way they are drawn up. The best laid plans can be waylaid by pandemics, bad weather, and bad fortune.  But good luck, and great results, are sometimes the residue of good planning.  After a long, long season (since June, for many of these players), it would be understandable if fatigue and stress and ennui would make it hard to stage an epic game.  Yet on Wednesday afternoon, with the slanting sunlight illuminating the dappled orange foliage surrounding The Pasture, the JV2 and Freshman teams staged a classic.  The final match in a long intramural series was the best one played, and came down to the wire before the Freshmen eked out a 2-1 victory.  It was truly, though, a match with all winners.  Both teams shrugged off distractions, made no excuses, and went after each other with skill and tactical maturity. The depth and quality of the Hanover program was on full display. The match started typically, with the Fres...
