StoneBridge Boys' Soccer Team Scores Both On & Off the Field
Visiting Referee Praises Team

Recently the StoneBridge varsity boys' soccer team received a letter from a referee who officiated what was termed an “incredibly physical” match, in which he stated:

“In my thirteen years as a referee, I have never met a finer group of players than those that represented your school…in addition to playing an excellent game of soccer, this group of young men demonstrated qualities, skills and behavior far more important than the mere ability to put a ball in the back of the net.”

In response, Coach Jeff Carlucci said, “We have been successful as a team both in our abilities on the field but also in exemplifying Jesus Christ. The most important thing to me is that the young men on our team honor God in everything that we do. I want everything that we do as a soccer program to point the players to Jesus Christ. The development of the players’ character to reflect Jesus Christ is why the team exists.”

Ranked fourth in the Virginia Independent Schools Soccer Association (VISSA) Division II Statewide Poll, this year the team received their first-ever invitation to play in the VISSA Division II State Tournament. They also won the Steward School invitational tournament, and four players on the team have been named to the Metro Athletic Conference All-Conference or Honorable Mention All-Conference Team. This is also the first year the boys’ soccer team has won a victory against a public school, as well as defeating the second ranked team in the state. Playing their most challenging schedule ever, they have a regular season record of 10-7.

Congratulations to ALL the players on the StoneBridge boys’ varsity soccer team, for exemplifying excellent sportsmanship as well as Christian character. We are proud of you!
