The boys’ soccer program at BSM consists of four different high school teams with over 90 players. While most of the younger kids do not make varsity, there were a select few who did. While the varsity team did not make it to State this year, one player who played a major role on the team is sophomore goalkeeper, Louis Hyde.

This was Hyde’s second year on the team, as he first made it last year as a freshmen. “I didn’t really expect to make varsity, but about half way through tryouts people started talking to me about making it, and I was really happy, but it was hard to believe,” Hyde said.

Although the team lost in the Section Tournament, Hyde was happy with how the year played out. “The team [did] a good job, we moved a lot of kids around to new positions, but we struggled to score sometimes,” Hyde said.

With Hyde being one of six sophomores on the varsity, and a returning player, he is already friends with a lot of the players on the team. “Louis is a really good player, and is fun to be around,” junior Harrison Shibley said.

Besides blocking shots on the soccer field, Louis enjoys fishing and hanging out with his friends.
