Mayfield Boys Soccer Going for Fourth Straight Title

The boys' soccer 2011 team is returning with nine starting seniors and with hopes for a fourth consecutive district title. They set a school record in fall 2010 with three consecutive district titles.

The season started Aug. 23 at the “pitch” in Mayfield Village with a 2-1 win against longtime rival Mentor High School. That was followed with a 5-0 victory against Aurora and a 2-1 win over North Olmsted.

This year's schedule includes Stow, Shaker, Brush, Solon, Hudson, North Royalton and Brecksville.

Returning for his fourth varsity season will be Nick Kane (second team all-state midfielder) leading as one of three team captains. The attacking forward position will be led by senior captain Joey Wise and junior Amari Williams.

The midfield will be shored up with senior captain Nicky Rosson, senior Yuta Umeda and sophomore Nate Schultz. On the defensive end will be a solid flat four wall led by seniors C.J. Tighe, Mitchell Richuisa, Maxwell Kolymytus , Michael Mesi and Justin Boncheck and Drew Teller in goal.

These seniors have been playing together since 2002 in the Mayfield Soccer Club. In those years they worked together for six consecutive winning seasons and numerous titles. They are looking forward to another special season for their school and themselves.

In the last three appearances to the semifinal regional playoffs they have fallen twice to St. Ignatius and in 2011 to Massilon Jackson.

Mayfield has a bubble year of talent in its soccer program and as their head coach Sean McNamara would say, “The lads have been working hard and they are learning how to come together."
