Three of Buckley’s fall athletic teams completed undefeated seasons this fall, combining excellence on the field with the highest level of sportsmanship. Those teams are: the boys’ seventh and eighth-grade Red soccer team, the seventh and eighth-grade co-ed tennis team and the fifth and sixth-grade co-ed cross-country team.
The boys’ Red soccer team dominated its competition this season, outscoring its opponents 32 to 7, while compiling a 7-0 record to date.
“I am so proud of this team,” said coach Isaac Neal, following the team’s final victory—a hard-fought 3-2 win at Green Vale. “They worked hard day in and day out and they earned this. Everyone contributed and they were a team in every sense of the word.”
The co-ed seventh and eighth grade tennis team—playing in the fall for the first time—had a terrific season, winning all of its matches, in addition to taking the LIAAIS Tournament.
Meanwhile, the co-ed fifth and sixth grade cross-country squad took a backseat to no team, going unbeaten this season. The Bulldogs not only performed extremely well in all of the meets, but also stuck together as a cohesive unit and supported each other throughout the season.
Congratulations to all of the Bulldogs for a great fall sports season!
