JV: The boys who showed up for this re-scheduled game played their hearts out and deserved a better outcome. However, 97 percent of the Junior varsity Trojans' scoring offense was absent and they just couldn't find the back of the net. Freshman:

JV: B-R got up to a 3-0 lead by playing tremendous soccer in the first half and then hung on to beat Attleboro 4-3 in a hard-fought second half. Freshman: Leading goal scorers Bo Tremalaris and Jason the hard head. Jason had to leave the game with a injury. The nat floated around as he always does, space cadet was flying today, Sully played well, Tom Krugur is coming into his own, Kyle Cashman almost scored a goal,Mike K. played good defense,and Monty drove some rockets through the air.
10/26 Varsity vs Oliver Ames:B-R (8-4-2 overall; 7-3-2 MIAA Qualifying; 4-2 OCL) lost a competitive match against a quality Oliver Ames squad. The Trojans carried play throughout parts of the game, but could not find the net. Strong defensive efforts by Joe Esposito, Marquis Marshall, Tim Kennedy, Elias Loucagos, and Sam Babchuck enabled the Trojans to play an attacking style. OA scored 10 minutes into the 2nd half, and B-R could not get the equalizer. Other fine ibutors were Tom Mullen, Skylor Nelson, Matt Curtis, and Collin McLaughlin. B-R hosts Attleboro in a huge OCL game under the lights on Tuesday (game starts at 6:30). JV: In B-R's best game of the season by far, the Trojans were able to consistently stay onsides, keep up with their marks, and send tremendous passes to each other to pick up a 6-1 decision over O.A. Joe Downing scored two follow up goals, added two assists, and sent several other great balls into the offensive zone to stand out as the clear offensive player of the game. Mitchell Brady contributed two goals as well and held down the midfield all day, while Mike Norgaard and Derek Henrique also got nice goals to round out the scoring. Defensively, Ryan Blake, Tyler Freeman-Pina, and Eric Champagne all played well, and sweeper Kevin Curley played out of his mind to help goalie Justin Montani hold O.A. down. Freshman: The boys played a scrappy Onsterliver Ames soccer team that was well schooled fundamentally. Mental preparation is a huge part of all sports and I hope these youngsters learned a valuable lesson. Mike Keller scored a goal and is the hardest worker on the team.
10/23 Freshman: The weather drop about 15 degrees in about 30 minutes and it was a cold October day. Marshfield gave the boys just a little motivation on that chilly day. B-R scored three goals in a span of five minutes at the start of the game. Our boy space cadet played outstanding game and I would like to thank Mike Keller for his play and hard work, Edison Perez for being a Mac Truck.
10/22 Varsity vs Plymouth S.: The Trojans (8-3-2 overall; 7-2-2 MIAA Qualifying; 4-2 OCL) qualified for the state tournament with their victory in Plymouth. Tyler Smith put B-R up 4 minutes into the game on a fine pass from Skylor Nelson. Next, Elias Loucagos scored on a headball off a beautiful Tom Mullen corner kick. Jeff Sherman and Skylor Nelson (2 goals) finished off the scoring for the Trojans with assists from Loucagos and Matt Curtis. Solid contributors included Shawn Morin, Tim Kennedy, Nick Rogers, Junior Saad, Brendan Glavin, Mike Zutaut, Sebastian Celeita, and Garrett Kelly. B-R travels to Marshfield for a difficult nonleague match on Friday. JV:In a game truly dominated by the Trojans, B-R was able to hang on to a 2-1 victory on the road in Plymouth. At the moment, B-R's offense is clicking but finding it difficult to finish plays with goals. This was certainly the case in this game, where the offensive combinations of Jon Silva, Mike Norgaard, Joe Downing, Derek Henrique, and Mitchell Brady all played well but hit mulitple posts and missed several point blank opportunities. B-R was able to get on the board in the first half with a great shot from Dan Williams before giving up the equalizer right out of the box in the second half. A penalty kick goal from Jon Silva finished the scoring as the Trojan defense of Kevin Curley, Alex Perry, and others stepped up big time. Freshman: No game
10/20 Varsity vs Barnstable: The Trojans (7-3-2 overall; 6-2-2 MIAA Qualifying, 4-2 OCL) jumped out to an early lead with Tom Mullen scoring on a Matt Needham feed 5 minutes into the game. Collin McLaughlin scored before halftime for B-R. In the 2nd half, the Trojans continued to dominate play. Skylor Nelson and Junior Saad had fine goals assisted by Elias Loucagos and Matt Needham. Zeke Georgantas posted the shutout, making 5 saves. Other fine performers were Matt Curtis, Jeff Sherman, Sam Babchuck, Joe Esposito, Marquis Marshall, Nick Burnett, and Tyler Smith. B-R travels to Plymouth South on Thursday for a match. JV:The junior varsity squad pulled out a great comeback win, 2-1, in Barnstable, after giving up a sloppy early goal. Playing against the wind, the Trojans really had nothing going offensively in the first half until Lens Esquil made a tremendous single-handed effort and blasted in a shot from 10 yards to make it 1-1 at half. In the second half, it was all B-R, as the boys applied tremendous pressure culminating in eight corners. Finally, one of them paid off as Jon Silva sent a beautiful deep cross to the back post, where Peter Doherty was able to send a great header into the back of the net. Freshman:B-R played a horrible first half but woke in the second scoring two tallies. The ball was in the Barnstable end for 32 of the 35 minutes. I hope the boys learned a valuable lesson of never underestimating an opponent.
10/15 Varsity vs Dartmouth: B-R (6-3-2 overall; 5-2-2 MIAA Qualifying; 3-2 OCL) dominated play despite losing a league contest to a much-improved Dartmouth squad. Dartmouth scored the game-winner early in the first half. Although B-R carried much of the play and had countless opportunities, they could not get on the scoreboard. Tom Mullen, Joe Esposito, Jeff Sherman, Matt Curtis, Skylor Nelson, Matt Needham, and Nick Rogers were among those playing a fantastic game. Nick Burnett had 6 saves in goal for B-R. The Trojans travel to Barnstable for a league game on Tuesday. JV: It was just a miserable day for the junior varsity Trojans, both weather-wise and on the field. B-R came out fired up to avenge their early season loss in Dartmouth but made a bevy of mental and physical mistakes en route to dropping the 4-0 decision. Tyler Freeman-Pina had his best game of the season in the losing effort. Freshman: Each game is getting better. Last game the fellahs got spanked by Dartmouth and the second game they did some spanking. The leaders on the field were Steve Pace, Tom Yung, Mike Myers. Every person on this team has honestly improved five-fold. These next two weeks are huge and the boys will play hard because they are putting the money in the bank during practice.
10/14 Varsity vs Plymouth S. The Trojans (6-2-2 overall; 5-1-2 MIAA Qualifying; 3-1 OCL) played well in a 1 -1 tie with Plymouth South. B-R put plenty of pressure on the opposition, but could not seem to find the back of the net. Plymouth South scored halfway through the 2nd half to take the lead. B-R refused to accept defeat as they remained on the attack for the remainder of the game. With 4 minutes to play, Tom Mullen scored a beautiful goal to tie the game. Zeke Georgantas played well in goal making 4 saves. Other solid performers were Skylor Nelson, Jeff Sherman, Collin McLaughlin, Joe Esposito, Elias Loucagos, Sam Babchuck, and Marquis Marshall. B-R hosts Dartmouth on Thursday. JV: The Trojans got goals from their two leading scorers and earned a hard-fought victory, 2-0, over Plymouth South to run their home record to an impressive 5-1 on the season. Joe Downing sent a pretty pass into Derek Henrique eight minutes into the game and Henrique was able to finish for his fifth goal of the season. The Trojans went on to play a very sloppy first half and were bailed out by a combination of missed Plymouth shots and stellar goalie play from Justin Montani. Then, just before the halftime whistle, Jon Silva rung up his ninth goal of the year on a sweet free kick bent in from just outside the eighteen. Freshmen call-ups Tom Yung and Steve Pace were again very solid and showed that the future of B-R soccer looks bright.
10/12 Varsity vs Dighton-Rehoboth: In a hard-fought match, the Trojans (6-2-1 overall; 5-1-1 MIAA qualifying; 3-1 OCL) came out on top against a fantastic D-R squad. Down 1 - 0 at halftime, B-R continued to play hard, but could not seem to get on the scoreboard. D-R took a 2 - 0 lead early in the 2nd half. The Trojans then responded scoring the next 3 goals to earn the victory. Tom Mullen scored the 1st assisted by Tyler Smith. With 3 minutes in the game, Smith scored the 2nd on a beautiful feed from Mullen. Mullen then scored the game-winner with 20 seconds to play on a Joe Esposito pass. B-R hosts Plymouth South on Wednesday. JV: On a beautiful Columbus Day, B-R organized themselves in just enough time to pull out a 4-1 win over D-R. Peter Doherty netted the first two goals of the game, the second of which was a crafty 25 yard blast that rattled in the top right corner of the goal past the diving goalie. Despite dominating the first half, B-R let up a late goal and went into halftime clinging to a 2-1 lead. Fortunately, the home team had enough firepower on goals from Jon Silva and Lens Esquil, to come out on top. Steve Pace, Ryan Blake, and Joe Downing all stood out for the Trojans in the win.
10/7 Varsity vs Brockton: The Trojans (5-2-1 overall; 4-1-1 MIAA Qualifying; 3-1 OCL) played a stellar game in defeating Brockton. B-R managed opportunities in the 1st half, but found themselves down 1 -0 at halftime. In the 2nd half, they continued to apply pressure. Tom Mullen put the Trojans on the scoreboard on a scramble in front of the Brockton net following a NIck Rogers throw-in. With about 9 minutes to play, Jeff Sherman was fouled in the penalty area, and Skylor Nelson scored on the penalty kick to put B-R ahead. B-R defended well the last few minutes to preserve the victory. NIck Burnett was amazing in goal, as he made 9 saves some of which should have been goals. Joe Esposito, Sam Babchuck, Elias Loucagos, Marquis Marshall, and Tim Kennedy anchored the defense, while Jeff Sherman, Tyler Smith, Matt Curtis, and Brendan Glavin created opportunities. B-R hosts a potent Dighton-Rehoboth squad on Columbus Day at 11 AM. JV: Despite the score, the Trojans played a very nice game against a highly-skilled Brockton team. Both teams actually shared even time of possession for the game due to some strong play from Derek Luthi, Mitchell Brady, and Derek Henrique (goal scored), but Brockton's ability to finish on their opportunities was the major difference in the 5-1 decision. Freshman: The boys have improved dramatically and played Brockton well for the first 45 minutes. B-R was down 1-0 at half and had numerous opportunities to score. Last game versus Brockton the rookie Trojans had only one shot on goal. Today we had double digits and lost to a fantastic team.
10/1 Varsity vs Taunton: The Trojans (4-2-1 overall; 4-1-1 MIAA Qualifying; 3-1 OCL) were impressive in defeating a fine Tiger team. Matt Needham put B-R up 1 minute and 50 seconds into the game on a Sky Nelson feed. 5 minutes later, Nelson scored a beatiful goal on a pass from Nick Rogers. Taunton scored the next goal, but Sky Nelson again responded with a tally to send the game to halftime. In the 2nd half, the Trojans continued to play well. Jeff Sherman scored an insurance goal assisted by Tom Mullen. Zeke Georgantas registered 3 saves in goal for B-R. Other solid performers were Sam Babchuck, Elias Loucagos, Marquis Marshall, Joe Esposito, and Nick Burnett. B-R hosts Plymouth South Saturday at 11 AM. JV: B-R shook off their poor effort in the Attleboro game with probably their best game of the year, beating a very physical Taunton squad, 3-2. Overall, it was a great team effort, with great defensive play from Derek Luthi, Alex Perry, Eric Champagne, and Kevin Curley. Goals were netted by Peter Doherty, Lens Esquil, and Jon Silva. The coach was just very pleased with the way the team fought out there and hopes the high intensity will remain for the rest of the year. Freshman: The Taunton squad was outstanding and best team of the year we played. The puppy Trojans played their positions, filled lanes and played fundamental soccer. All athletes contained, did not chase, and put themselves in a situation to win and they did well. So far this season this is the best the boys have played. Still a lot work to go to make the varsity and help the organization.
9/30 Freshman vs Pembroke: The freshman boys played a sloppy first half and were down 2-0 at half time. After a little pep talk the boys responded and tied the game with 17 seconds left in the contest. Peter Drown scored the equal tally.
9/29 Varsity vs Attleboro: The Trojans (3-2-1 overall; 3-1-1 MIAA Qualifying; 2-1 OCL) were defeated by a strong Attleboro team. After surrendering 2 early goals, B-R battled, but could not find the net. Skylor Nelson, Sam Babchuck, Jeff Sherman, and Joe Esposito played solid games. Zeke Georgantas (9 saves) made several key saves to keep the Trojans in the game. B-R looks to get back on the winning track when they face a dangerous Taunton squad Thursday at Taunton. JV: The junior varsity Trojans came out of the gate very shakily after a long bus ride and got down 2-0 in the blink of an eye. A nice Derek Henrique goal made it 3-1, but the Trojans would never get any closer and needed a Jon Silva goal at the very end to make the final 5-2. Mitchell Brady had a tremendous game in the midfield but it was not enough to overcome the opponent on a frustrating day. Freshman: The freshman are getting better each day and are starting to play as a team. Strong midfield play and snipper shooting from Jason the hawk helped B-R to the victory.
9/25 Varsity vs Dighton-Rehoboth: The Trojans (3-1-1 overall; 3-0-1 MIAA Qualifying; 2-0 OCL) beat an impressive Dighton-Rehoboth team. Tom Mullen scored off a fine Matt Curtis pass five minutes before halftime. In the second half, B-R continued to play well creating more scoring opportunities. Elias Loucagos and Matt Needham put home insurance goals. Sky Nelson assisted Loucagos, while Loucagos assisted Needham. Tim Kennedy, Marquis Marshall, Joe Esposito, Tyler Smith, Sam Babchuck, and Mike Norgaard had great games. Nick Burnett earned the shutout making 8 saves. B-R travels to Attleboro for an important match on Tuesday. JV: World-renowned freshman Lens Esquil made his junior varsity debut a memorable one by getting the Trojans off to a 1-0 lead, and setting the tone for a fun Friday afternoon at D-R. The Trojans did have a couple of defensive breakdowns but were in very comfortable control of the game from the outset. In the first game in which the junior varsity was at full strength, Joe Downing, Jon Silva, and Gabe Fleming all contributed beautiful goals. Mitchell Brady, who doesn't always show up on the stat sheet, had another outstanding game in the midfield while being aided by other overall offensive talents Silva, Fleming, Derek Henrique, Downing, and Esquil. Derek Luthi also had a notable game on the defensive end in his first game back from an injury.
9/22 Varsity vs Barnstable: The Trojans (2-1-1 overall; 2-0-1 MIAA Qualifying; 2-0 OCL) earned a league victory against a tough Barnstable team in a hard-fought 3 to 1 victory. Jeff Sherman notched a goal and an assist to lead the way. The other goal scorers were Sam Babchuck and Marquis Marshall. Matt Curtis and Skylor Nelson provided an assist each. B-R got out to an early 1 - 0 lead, but entered halftime tied at 1. After the half, the Trojans regrouped and won due to a solid team effort. Among the strong performers were Sherman, Nelson, Babchuck, Curtis, Marshall, Joe Esposito, Elias Loucagos, Tyler Smith, and Tom Mullen. Zeke Georgantas was fantastic in goal, as he recorded 6 key saves. B-R travels to Dighton-Rehoboth for a non-league match on Friday. GO TROJANS. JV: In a wild game that was much closer than the score indicated, the junior varsity Trojans were able to regain their offensive firepower, downing the Red Raiders 5-1. Despite standout goalie Justin Montani's first half hand injury, backups Joe Downing and Peter Doherty held down an onslaught of Barnstable shots to hang on to the win. Joe Downing had actually started the day off at striker and put up two quick goals, followed by a Derek Henrique tally. Two second half goals by Jon Silva, who also had an assist on the day, finished the scoring off. Freshman: The freshman boys played an outstanding game and have improved dramatically in the past three weeks. The rookies are starting to learn the game, but with one minute to go they lost a two nothing lead. Hopefully the squad learned a valuable lesson and never forget our main goal.
9/17 Varsity vs Dartmouth: The Trojans (1-1-1 overall; 1-0-1 MIAA Tournament Qualifying; 1-0-0 OCL) began their league schedule with a win against a tough Dartmouth team. Sky Nelson put the Trojans ahead 15 minutes into the match after receiving a beautiful crossing pass from Tom Mullen. 10 minutes later, Matt Needham doubled the lead after finishing another Tom Mullen ball. Although Dartmouth scored several minutes into the 2nd half, the Trojans kept their poise. Tyler Smith cliched the game with a great insurance goal, his first varsity tally, for B-R on a wonderful Nick Rogers feed. Nick Burnett was stellar in goal making 6 key saves. Among the other strong performers were Joe Esposito, Marquis Marshall, Tim Kennedy, Shawn Morin, Matt Curtis, Sam Babchuck, Elias Loucagos, and Jeff Sherman. B-R looks to continue its fine play when they host Barnstable next Tuesday. JV: The junior varsity Trojans had an extremely frustrating day in Dartmouth, dropping a 2-0 decision. B-R had chances to score all game long but in the end were unable to crack through the Dartmouth defense. Mike Norgaard, Peter Doherty, and Alex Perry all had great games for the Trojans. Freshman:B-R loss to Dartmouth 2-0. B-R defense gave up two goals on mental mistakes. On the offensive side of the ball the midfielders and strikers were out of position and B-R got only two attempts on goal.
9/14 Freshman vs Pembroke:B-R tied Pembroke 1-1 in game two of the season. B-R had plenty of chances to win but did not capitalize.
9/10 Varsity vs Brockton: B-R (0-1-1 overall; 0-0-1 MIAA Tournament Qualifying; 0-0-0 OCL) lost in a non-league match to a very strong Brockton squad. The Trojans played well at times, but could not get on the scoreboard. Among the solid performers for B-R were Zeke Georgantas (14 saves), Marquis Marshall, Shawn Morin, Brendan Glavin, and Tyler Smith. B-R hopes to rebound when they play an Old Colony League game at Dartmouth next Thursday. JV: The Junior Varsity Trojans had a tough day against a very skilled Brockton squad, losing 6-1. Goalie Justin Montani kept B-R in the game as long as he could, but the Trojans still went into halftime trailing 3-0. They came out much stronger and with better energy in the second half, resulting in four or five great chances between forwards Derek Henrique and Mike Norgaard, but struggled finding the net. Jon Silva did contribute the lone B-R goal on a deep blast well outside the 18, but it was just Brockton's day in the end. Freshman: B-R played Brockton 2-0 loss. It was tied 0-0 at half and Brockton pulled away in th second half. B-R had one shot one goal.
9/8 Varsity vs Marshfield: In their opening match, a tough nonleague game with Marshfield, the Trojans (0-0-0 OCL; 0-0-1 Nonleague) played very well. Zeke Georgantas (15 saves) was a wall in goal for the Trojans throughout the game. Matt Curtis put B-R ahead a few minutes into the second half on a beautiful pass from Jeff Sherman. Although B-R did not let up, Marshfield earned the equalizer with about 30 minutes remaining. The entire team put forth solid performances with Tom Mullen, Joe Esposito, Sam Babchuck, Elias Loucagos, and Tim Kennedy playing especially strong. On Thursday, the B-R Boys Soccer Teams travel to Brockton to take on a talented Boxer squad. JV: Goalkeeper Justin Montani and the junior varsity Trojans recorded a nice shutout win over Marshfield, 6-0, in their season opener. It took the Trojans a little while to get comfortable on the turf field, going into the half tied 0-0, even though they were in clear control of the game. They eventually got it going in the second half, with two goals coming from forward Tyler Smith, one from sharp-shooter Ryan Blake, and single goals also added by Derek Henrique, Mitchell Brady, and Jon Silva. Eric Champagne had a stand-out game at various positions on the defensive side. |
