The Emporia High boys soccer team has high expectations heading into this fall.
The Spartans finished the 2021 season with a 10-5-1 record after a first-round loss to Salina South.
Coach Victor Ibarra is optimistic about returning nine starters back from last year’s team.
The Spartans return their three-year starter at goalkeeper in senior Diego Reyes.
Alongside Reyes as a captain is junior Alex Mosiman, who plays left wing back.
The Spartans open up their season on Aug. 26 at St. Mary’s Academy. Their home opener is on Sept. 13 against Hayden.
