2015 St. Thomas Aquinas Boys Soccer

"The Beast" Alumni Game

Dedicated to the memory of Coach Salvacion's son

David was a goalkeeper for Sacred Heart School and Winnicunnet High School.
 His nickname was "The Beast" because of his size.
He had a scary presence in the goal.
To those that knew him he had a big heart and a great smile. 
His nickname was also "Panda" by his friends that didn't have to face him on the field.

Coach Salvacion refereed the game with a new tool to keep order and make sure no one got hurt.

Saints on the ATTACK!

Nico Rignoli is still a defensive wall.

Hayden risks Coach Salvacion's wrath with an arm ball

Father vs. Son

Players got drinks and fruit for halftime.  The girls want to know what Bryan King uses for conditioner.

A few took the time to grab a cheeseburger and finish it on the field.

New defender getting schooled by team's all-time leading scorer.

Tim Green still has "ups" and Jeff King can still use his head.

Past Assistant Coach Griffiths shows he can still hold his own.

Like father like son, Mr. Sweeney shows off his foot skills

Coach Umland and Coach Puertas were in charge of the current team players.

  
Special thanks to all the parents who helped out with the cookout, brought food and drinks, and cut up watermelon.
Mother nature graced us with a beautiful afternoon for everyone to meet and to play soccer in David's memory.
