Senior Hani Yousif catches his breath during the Smithville game on Oct. 23.

The boys soccer season ended with a closing statement from head soccer coach David Flynn in an email sent out to Winnetonka staff members.

“The soccer season has officially ended,” he stated.  “Our boys represented our school well on the field, and we impressed the coaches from other teams with our tenacity and hard efforts.  Many coaches indicated that they were worried about the matches against us, because they noticed a big change in our level of soccer from the past few years.  The boys did a fine job learning.

Please thank any soccer player you might have for working hard all season.  Please also congratulate the following players for their post season awards.”
