2012 Tech Boys Soccer Capsule

TECH

Head coach: Josh Jones, 14th season

2011 record: 15-4-1 (12-2 Southeast)

Returning letter winners (starters): 15 (Eight)

Top players: MF Oscar Velazquez (Sr.), F Rafael Munoz (Sr.), MF Juan Palacios (Sr.), D Gerardo Castillo (Sr.), F Salvador Garcia (Jr.), D Hugo Flores (Jr.), MF/F Julio Vargas (Jr.)

Outlook: Velazquez (20 goals, 21 assists) Garcia (14 goals) and Munoz (12 goals, 14 assists) are all back to lead an offense that could have a ton of firepower.

“Tech returns the core of their team and will look to rebound from last year’s semifinal loss to Eldorado,” Jones said. “The team has all the components to make a deep run in the playoffs. This could be the most well-rounded team Tech has put on the field.”
