2016 Moapa Valley Boys Soccer Capsule

MOAPA VALLEY

League: Class 3A Sunrise League

Head coach: Jared Bushman, fifth season

2015 record: 2-18-1 (0-14 Sunrise, eighth)

Returning lettermen (starters): Twelve (six)

Top athletes: MF Israel Rubio (Jr.), D Josh Lee (Jr.), GK Tanner Johnson (Jr.), D Ryan Sorrells (Jr.), MF Brian Robles (So.)

Outlook: Twelve letter winners return for the Pirates, who remain young as only one senior is among that group of returnees.

Rubio had 10 goals and six assists last year, and Robles added four goals for the Pirates, who should be improved.

“We hope to build from what we learned last year and have our best season in recent history,” Bushman said. “We believe we can be a playoff-caliber team this season.”
