Varsity Soccer won the quarter finals against Trinity Christian School 3-1 at home, with the field packed and loud, securing a place in the semifinals. “In the quarter finals, the team played pretty well, we were all focused. It was pretty intense,” Suarez said, “I got heated in the last few minutes, but nothing happened, we ended up winning 3-1.” In the semifinals against Seton School, the team ended up losing 4-2. “In the semifinals there were some mistakes by the team and a lack of confidence.” Suarez said, “But we played well, we could have taken it; it was because of silly mistakes.” The team played more offensive than defensive in the quarter finals, while in the semifinals they were doing the opposite. “There was also a lack of communication and chemistry.” Suarez said, “We started preseason with little hope, but we all progressed and improved a lot together. And as a team, we’ve done really well.”

ALBUM COVER: After a long day, me (on the left) and my band sit beside the pool, with the exception of the drummer, who takes the picture. This was on the last night of music camp in Granada on August 9 and our original song was ready for the final concert. With Patricia (keyboard) on the right, besides her Ciara (voice and violin), then Violeta (voice) next to me (guitar), Bruno took the picture. We decided to block the world around us and be just us for the last night. “Please, please, shut up,” Violeta said to me. By that time, I was already known for making really bad jokes, and even if they say the opposite, I know they love them. After talking for a while, we just sat there in silence, each one of us thinking deeply about something. In my case, I was thinking about my foot. After I pushed Violeta into the pool, she tried to get revenge, which ended up with me stepping on a broken tile and not being able to walk for the next ten days. I had to sit on stage during the concert. After a few minutes, Patricia broke the silence and voiced what we were all thinking: “I’ll really miss you, guys.” |
