The Knights and two of the other top Division I contenders shared their expectations and outlook for the 2024 season.
The Colony boys soccer team celebrates after winning the Division I soccer title on Saturday, May 27, 2023, at West High.
“Last year was last year, and this is a whole new year and a whole new team,” longtime Knights head coach Jeremy Johnson said. “We’re just taking it one game, one practice, one match at a time.” Even though the Knights graduated four starting seniors from last year’s state title-winning team, they are still returning a fair number of players who had key roles or were starters.“It’s early and the season is short, but you play a lot of matches, so depending on how the team comes together, injuries and how , we’ll see,” Johnson said. “We feel like we have a good team but I’m not making any predictions at this point in time.
“We ended up counting on a lot of other guys and they found goals for us,” Johnson said. “We’re hoping to do that again this year and score goals by committee versus goals just by one guy.” “We’re still trying to work some pieces in, and obviously we need to get more time on the turf because training in the gym is tough, but we’ve got a lot of returning guys and we could be poised to make a good run if we keep putting our stuff together,” he said.
West fell behind in the first minute of its season opener with Dimond, but the Eagles battled back and nearly had a chance to complete a comeback in the final minute of the game. Head coach Kaleb Kuehn was proud of their effort to force a 2-2 stalemate in the end.
