On Monday the BFS MS Boys Soccer Team defeated Packer 1-0 at Brooklyn Bridge Park. Today the team overcame local rivals Packer in a very close and tense encounter. The wind made playing conditions difficult, but BFS managed to get the ball under control in the early stages, and it wasn’t long before they were threatening the Packer goal. Miles B., Coby W., and Gabe D. were all unlucky not to add to their goal tallies for the season, and in defense some heroic tackling from Finn S., Aja M., Ty S., and Sam F. prevented BFS from falling behind. During the second half, the game opened up as both teams went for the win. Packer was awarded a penalty 10 minutes after the break, but failed to capitalize on their golden opportunity. Just when the game was heading for a tie, BFS broke the deadlock with 6 minutes remaining. Miles B. stole the ball in midfield and beat 2 defenders before slotting the ball inside the far post to put BFS on course for their 6th win of the season. BFS survived some late pressure from their opponents to ensure a very hard-earned victory. Blue Pride!!

The BFS MS Boys Soccer Team defeated Friends Seminary down at Red Hook. Today the team came through a stern test against their fellow quaker opponent. BFS looked comfortable in the early stages and got behind the oppositions defense on several occasions. Unfortunately, they were unable to capitalize on their dominance, and were made to pay the price midway through the first half. Friends Seminary took the lead after their striker pounced on a stray pass, and BFS had their work cut out to find a way back into the game. However, the 5 minutes before halftime proved crucial as BFS turned the game around completely. Miles B. found himself in space in the penalty area, and his lofted cross from the right was headed in from close range by Gabe D. A few minutes later Lewis W. reproduced the magic he conjured up against Churchill last week by curling a free kick from the edge of the penalty area into the top left hand corner of the goal. From this point on, BFS never looked back. On 45 minutes they earned a two goal advantage as Miles B. won the ball on the right side and fed Coby W., who scored from the tightest of angles. Miles B. himself rounded off the scoring for BFS as he intercepted a clearance from the Friends Seminary defense, and calmly slotted the ball into the bottom left corner to cap another fine display for the middle school boys. Blue Pride!!
