Socorro Boys Take Bosque To Double OT

By Polo C’ de Baca

On Thursday a valiant Warriors boys soccer team lost 1-0 to Bosque School in double overtime. The Bobcats (14-1) are arguably the best Class 3A soccer team, with only one loss to Class 5A La Cueva.
Socorro (4-9) hosts NMMI (2-11) at 11 a.m. Saturday.
The game with Bosque was more that just a moral victory for the Warriors. After a less than shiny season the Warrior encounter with the Bobcats had Coach Chuck Ngo extremely pleased.
“After the game with Bosque I know that our team is falling in place,” Ngo said. “In the game with Bosque Prep we did what we needed to do and we played and stayed with the No. 1 team in the state. It’s the best game we’ve played all year. ... It shows we can hang in there. We can be one of the top teams in the state.”
Ngo said that his team had struggled trying to find the best rotations and combinations on the field. By trial and error it would seem that the Warriors will be going into district play at their best. Ngo said that his team has been improving all along but only by increments.
