The JV Boys Soccer team travelled to Thetford on Monday and played an intense, evenly matched game vs. the Panthers for eighty minutes. Dressing only twelve players, the Raptors held their own by playing tough, disciplined defense and challenging the opponents defensive third of the field throughout the match. The game was scoreless until the seventy seventh minute when Thetford scored the game winner on a nicely placed shot from the top right elbow of the penalty area.
Eric Perry played very strongly in net, turning away several difficult shots. The defensive unit kept Thetford at bay while the transition game produced a number of quick strike opportunities at the Thetford end as Kyle Huntington just missed on a couple of occasions. It was a terrific game to watch. The team travels to Twinfield on Wednesday.

Rivendell's Philosophy on Athletics
Competitive athletics play an integral part in the educational programs at Rivendell. The challenges associated with competition create learning experiences for all athletes. A player’s drive, determination, confidence, mental toughness, and emotional control are tested daily. The educational value of athletics lies in how the athlete copes with these challenges. High quality leadership is a must. Coaches stress commitment, dedication, and hard work and work closely with the players as they face these obstacles. With good leadership, athletes will learn self-discipline and self-motivation, and develop good sportsmanship in both winning and losing. It is our hope that athletes are taught a formula that can be applied to real-life situations: They learn to plan, prepare, perform, evaluate, and try again. Our teams play to win, but winning is only a by-product of hard work, good teamwork, respect, and good sportsmanship, which are our focus.
