Coach Jason Einaugler expressed some words about the season coming to an end and only looking at the bright side for what the future holds for his team.
“My players finished the season strong, and I am very proud of them,” he said. Simply but very powerfully, Coach Einaugler showed his dedication and passion for this group of boys. He strengthened many of the team's weaknesses all season, getting them to work hard every day.
Each practice brought about major improvement to the team’s success throughout the season, one in which they made the playoffs and went further than expected.
Captains Low, Berman Annunziata, and Ethan Leland were all crucial players on the squad this season, helping guide and lead their team to success.
Leland, the goalie, was a backbone of the Trojans this year, helping his teammates on the field during games as well as on the sidelines.
Each player showed improvement, strength, and sportsmanship. As Coach Einaugler said at the beginning of the season, the goal was to outwork everyone, and that is just what the Trojans did. Through any losses that may have gotten in the way, the team never backed down and kept their feet moving up until the last second of every match.
This year was marked by significant milestones, including clinching a spot in the playoffs and lasting two games.
The team ended their regular season with a record of 9-6 and made it 10-7 including playoffs.
As the season ends, the Blind Brook Trojans can continue to hold their heads high, proud of their accomplishments and the bonds they have made.
The dedication and spirit displayed by the team have left a lasting impact on the community and set a high standard for all future players.
The foundation laid this season promises continued success. With a strong core of returning players and the experience every player gained, the team is poised for another successful run next year.
As the Blind Brook Trojans close their 2024 season, they do so with a sense of accomplishment and pride. The bonds formed, the lessons learned, and the memories made will last long after that final game.
