Enid, Oklahoma - The Enid High School soccer program is set to make history with their official home debut at the Advance Soccer Complex. The Pacers and Plainsmen will take on Woodward in a girls-boys doubleheader on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.
A New Era Begins
This marks a significant milestone in the 30-plus-year history of the Enid High School soccer program. The teams will be playing on a full-size field for the first time ever, providing them with more space to showcase their skills.
Coach Jorge Cabada expressed his excitement about the new field, stating that it will allow the teams to play to their full potential and take advantage of their speed. The larger field also aligns with the fast-paced style of play that both the Pacers and Plainsmen are known for.
Home Field Advantage
Coach Tim Lavoie echoed Cabada's sentiments, emphasizing that the new field will serve as a home advantage for the teams. With wind screens and team logos decorating the field, it will be a tough environment for opposing teams to compete in.
The shift towards soccer-only fields, as seen with schools like Broken Arrow and Union, is becoming a trend in high school soccer. While the seating capacity may be smaller, the energy from the fans is expected to have a greater impact on the players.
Seeking Redemption
Both the Pacers and Plainsmen are coming off tough losses to Moore, where they fell short in penalty kicks. The teams are determined to bounce back and make their home field a fortress. The players are approaching each match with a championship mindset, aiming to correct their mistakes and secure victories.
Despite facing challenges like Cabada's absence due to a caution received at Moore, the teams are ready to face Woodward with the guidance of NOC Enid women's coach Cesar Zepeda. The renewed series against Woodward will test the teams' skills and determination.
Cancer Awareness Night
In addition to the exciting matches, Tuesday's doubleheader will also be Cancer Awareness Night. Students are encouraged to wear specific colors to show support for different types of cancer, highlighting the importance of raising awareness for the cause.
As the Enid High School soccer teams embark on this new chapter at the Advance Soccer Complex, they are prepared to showcase their talent, resilience, and dedication to the game. The historic home debut signifies the beginning of a promising season filled with opportunities for growth and success.
