On August 30, 2017, the first co-ed outdoor soccer games for Harvest Middle School were played. It was an away game at Silverado Middle School.

Mr. Martinez led the 7th grade team to a 3-2 victory over Silverado. Unfortunately, the 8th grade team (lead by Mr. Fajardo) fell short to Silverado 2-1. The 6th grade team led by Coach Max was to be played Friday September 1st, but was postponed because of the heat.

Coach Fajardo had some interesting comments after the game. “It wasn’t the best start to the season,” he said, “but now we know what we need to improve on. We need to work on communication with our teammates and  build up our stamina, but overall we look solid, we definitely look like a solid team.”

Some of the 8th grader players had something to say about the game:

Joseph Dowling: “We missed a lot of open shots, couldn’t finish our shots, and our defending could’ve been better.”

Marcus Delgado: “I think we needed better passing and we needed to work more as a team.”

Viviana Rubio: “Our team just needs to communicate more, I think”
