thisnewdayThe Henninger Black Knights boys modified soccer team played their last game of the 2015 season against West Genesee this afternoon and won 5 goals to 1. Which I think, in effect, makes them league champions since they beat the only previously-undefeated team last week by a score of 3-1.
An interesting aspect of these wins, which we noticed early-on, was that even when our opponents matched up well with our starters our second team was almost always so much better than theirs that we were virtually guaranteed the win. In the end, our starters almost always wore the opposition down, but there was at least one game when our starters were outscored by our second team.
With today's win, I'm told, this is Coach Bardenett's 5th undefeated season. The nice thing is, the great thing for the kids, is that he's such a humble man, a great role model who doesn't run up the score when he clearly can. He expects the highest level of sportsmanship from his players and exemplifies that on the field.
Congratulations, Coach, and thanks for a great season!
