Davie’s JV soccer team fell behind 4-0 but made a run at Reagan before losing 4-2 in its final game. This was the War Eagles’ first action in 15 days.

The The early hole proved too much to overcome. “We started out bad,” coach Johnny Oceguera said. “Three of the goals were from not marking up on their guys.”

Sam Rosser, who was responsible for five of Davie’s 10 goals on the season, put his team on the board with a shot “from almost midfield,” Oceguera said. Teammate Arturo Gomez pulled Davie within 4-2 by drilling a corner kick into the net.

“We came out in the second half and played an amazing half of soccer,” Oceguera said.

Davie only played six games, losing five times.

“The guys played great with it being a different time of the year and dealing with COVID,” he said. “Also, we did not have any subs this game. It’s tough when you play every game with little to no subs and every other team has seven-plus guys on their bench. It was not the season we wanted, but we got it in and they left it all on the field.”
