Boys soccer ties, falls

By ERIC LUCERO

In two hard-fought games the Winters High School boys soccer team was unable to pull off a win last week. The Warriors started on Tuesday, Jan. 19, with a Sacramento Valley League game against Pierce High School on the road.
The Warriors overcame an early lead by the Bears as they went into the half down 1-0. Jose Bermudez was able to put one in the net to tie the game in the second half.
“We did a good job of controlling the game,” said coach Pedro Ceja. “We passed the ball well and the team looked good but their goalie was amazing.”
Winters hosted Esparto on Thursday, Jan. 21, at Shirley Rominger School and lost a very hard fought game by a score of 2-1. Ivan Santana put one in the net in the first half that ended in a 1-1 tie but the Spartans were able to score one in the second half for the win.
“We dominated the game,” Ceja said. “We pushed hard the whole way and played a lot better but unfortunately we didn’t have much luck. The only two plays they had they finished. But our team is working hard everyday to prevent games like that again.”
