East Brunswick High School’s boys and girls soccer teams are off to an impressive start this season as they prepare for the Greater Middlesex Conference (GMC) tournaments. Both squads have shown strong teamwork, skill, and determination, making them serious contenders for the championship this year.

The girls team has been led by junior Samantha Baker, who has quickly become a standout player. Baker is the team’s highest goal scorer, consistently finding the back of the net and helping her team secure important wins. Coaches and teammates praise her leadership on and off the field, noting that she sets a positive example for her teammates; still staying focused during critical moments in matches. “She’s just so dominant on the field, what we’ve accomplished wouldn’t be done without Sam,” Junior and teammate of Sam, Hannah Cherabli said.

The boys team has been equally impressive, with sophomore Giovanni Sousa leading the squad with his scoring and playmaking abilities. Despite being only in his second year on the team, Sousa has quickly adapted to the team’s style of play and has become a key contributor. “He’s the best sophomore the team has seen in a long time”, Junior and fellow teammate, Sean Enda stated. Coaches are excited to see how Sousa will continue to grow and impact the team in the coming seasons.

Both the boys and girls soccer teams at East Brunswick High School have been spending extra time practicing to get ready for the Greater Middlesex Conference games. They are working on talking to each other better on the field so everyone knows where to pass or move. The players are also practicing different strategies for offense and defense, learning how to react to different situations during a game. In addition, they are focusing on building their strength and endurance so they can run hard for the full 80 minutes without getting too tired. Coaches are running drills that help the players stay in good shape, move faster, and make better decisions under pressure. The teams know that being well-prepared and working together is important if they want to have a good season and do well in the GMC tournaments.

Fans and families are eagerly following East Brunswick High School soccer this season, attending games and cheering on their athletes. The teams’ hard work, combined with standout performances from players like Baker and Sousa, has generated excitement around the school and community. As the GMCs approach, both the boys and girls teams are confident in their abilities and ready to give their best performances.

With talented players leading the way, strong coaching, and dedicated teamwork, East Brunswick High School’s soccer teams are in an excellent position to succeed in this year’s Greater Middlesex Conference tournaments. The season has already shown that these teams are not only competitive but also resilient, and fans are looking forward to seeing how far they can go.
