2018 Eldorado Boys Soccer Capsule

ELDORADO

League: Class 4A Mountain

Head coach: David Ostler, third season

2017 record: 14-3-3 (6-0-2 Northeast/first)

Returning lettermen (starters): Eight (four)

Top athletes: MF Roberto Gonzalez (Jr.), D Alejandro Plazola (Jr.), D Jose Torres (Jr.), GK Emiliano Garcia (So.)

Outlook: Last year’s Northeast League champions and Sunrise Region runners-up took a hit from graduation.

Gonzalez (9 goals, 10 assists) is back to lead the offense.

“After an excellent year last year, we are rebuilding around a talented core of juniors,” Ostler said. “Defensively we should be strong with Alejandro Plazola, Jose Torres, and senior Fransisco Ulloa-Tapia. The reins on offense will be turned over to Roberto Gonzalez.

“If we can find some complementary scoring, we should be able to finish in the top half and make some noise come playoffs.”
