While happy for the success of the volleyball program at 91原创 Fundamental, soccer coach Tamera Shearon has long wanted to add to the school鈥檚 collection.
And now, they are able to do just that, courtesy of not one, but two Fraser Valley banners won last week.
鈥淲e have been clawing our way up over the last couple of years,鈥� Shearon said.
鈥淲e have looked up at the wall a lot of times and there are volleyball banners but we have never been able to get that soccer banner.鈥�
The Titans won two banners, both on Nov. 9 at Coquitlam鈥檚 Town Centre.
while the senior Titans squad scored a decisive 4-0 victory over the top seed North Delta Huskies.
91原创 Fundamental was seeded second for the Fraser Valley AA senior boys championships after winning the 91原创 zone with a perfect 8-0-0 mark, outscoring their foes 62-4.
North Delta had won the South zone with a 6-0-0 record, beating their opponents a combined 23-1.
The Titans won their first two Fraser Valley games by identical 3-1 scores while the Huskies won 1-0 and 2-0, respectively.
In the championship final, the Titans struck for three goals in the first half alone as Jacob Sol scored twice and Jackson Thomson had the other. Ryan Schroeder added a second-half tally to round out the scoring.
North Delta came out strong in the second half, applying intense pressure as they tried to get on the board and back in the game. And they nearly did after a rare Titans defensive miscue resulted in a two-on-break, but goalkeeper Justin Moffat came up with a massive save.
Shearon admitted had the Huskies scored 鈥� it was in the first 10 minutes 鈥� the game鈥檚 trajectory could have been drastically changed.
鈥淏ut when he made that save, (the momentum) changed again,鈥� she said.
The Huskies may have under-estimated the small-school Titans.
鈥淣obody knows who we are,鈥� Shearon said. 鈥淭hey just didn鈥檛 know we could play.鈥�
Last year, the Titans finished third at the Fraser Valley championships and then matched that with a program-best bronze at the BC high school championships.
鈥淥ur team is very organized and they work very well together,鈥� Shearon said, adding that the team boasts good depth.
Up next for the squad is the B.C. provincial championships which run Nov. 20 to 22 at the Burnaby Lakes Sports Complex West.
