Soccer Season

Well I somehow managed to get through soccer season without taking a single picture.  I guess the games have become so exciting that I just get caught up in it all.  Both boys had a great season!  Trevor moved up a division and got to play with his good friend, Nick.  Their team had a winning season and took second place in the championship!  Cameron got to play JV for Manteca High School.  They had an undefeated season until their last game!  They took first in their division earning a patch for a future letterman's jacket.....way cool!

Thanks to Deeanna I have photos of Trevor playing soccer this season.  And thanks to the Manteca Bulletin I have recaps of all of Cameron's games.

Giovanni Marin poured in four goals in Manteca’s 7-1 romp over visiting Sierra Tuesday at Guss Schmiedt Field, but only one of them scores will be remembered. Marin blasted in a goal in the second half with a bicycle kick. His brother, Ricardo, contributed a goal and an assist. Niko Gonzalez recorded a pair of assists, while Cesar Reyes and Cameron Crippen added a goal each. Manteca improved to 2-0 in the Valley Oak League, 6-0 overall. It’s always a tough challenge to play Sierra,” Manteca coach Geno Geerlof said. “It was the first time we got to play them here at the stadium instead of Curran Park, and that made a big difference.”

The Manteca High frosh-soph soccer team are a few steps away from completing a perfect season after another lopsided Valley Oak League win Tuesday at home. The Buffaloes (12-0) had little trouble disposing the Wildcats, beating Sonora 10-0 at Curran Park. Cameron Crippen got things going in a hurry for the squad, tallying his first goal in the games’ ninth minute on an assist from Cesar Reyes. Manteca would go into the intermission with a 4-0 lead thanks to a pair of goals from Niko Gonzalez, both assisted by Giovanni Marin, and a goal from Marin himself. Gabriel Zamudion abandoned his defensive position during the second half to score two goals of his own, while teammates Nacho Valdovinos and Ricardo Marin scored a goal apiece.  “We took advantage of our home field,” head coach Geno Geerlof said. “And we battled the elements, making sure that we remained focused on our task at hand.”
