2018 Green Valley Boys Soccer Capsule

League: Class 4A Desert

Head coach: Jacob Rivera, eighth season

2017 record: 8-15-1 (3-6-1 Southeast/fifth)

Returning lettermen (starters): Eleven (eight)

Top athletes: MF/F Christian Sevilla (Sr.), MF/F Kai Zurfleuh (Jr.), MF/D Stuart Gallardo (Jr.), D Zach Hanson (Jr.)

Outlook: The Gators had a down season last year, but bring back eight starters who are hungry for success.

“After a disapointing 2017-2018 where we missed playoffs, this season we are not only looking to compete for a playoff position, but will look to advance far in the tournament,” Rivera said. “A blend of great young talent and senior leadership will return Green Valley to a competitive group again this year.

“We look forward to the challenges and development of our underclassmen to help lead us into the future.”
