Coaches Jonathan Graf and Brian McLean presided over the Westwood Middle School soccer banquet on Thursday night at the Coffee Café. The team celebrated their 2nd straight Central Tennessee Soccer Conference title and the 5th straight run to the finals for the Rockets.
Coach Graf also celebrated a season that was free of serious injury as he looked ahead to the future. “My tradition has always been to treat the banquet as a graduation” said Graf. “I want to look ahead to what we are going do next” Graf told his team.
He did take time to recognize the work of his Booster Club and the work of his longtime assistant coach Brian McLean who will be leaving the Rocket sideline after this season. Each of the players was presented a championship t-shirt and the 8th graders were sent off with a soccer ball. The Westwood 8th graders who will be moving on to high school are:
Renato Ayala
Leo Basurto
Andres Cavalie
Nick Johnson
Cailan McLean
Eric Randolph
Felix Salinas
Aiden Stowe
Leo Saurez
Corey Walker
Samuel Workman
