JV Boys Soccer forward Eduardo Flores expresses confidence in the current season.

If one were to mention the St. Paul Academy and Summit School soccer team, SPA students would think of the successful Boys Varsity team, or perhaps the equally successful Girls Varsity team. Perhaps students would reminisce about the occasions on which many of us missed school to watch a game at the dome. It’s all about varsity success in the eyes of SPA students. But what about Junior Varsity? JV player Eduardo Flores feels pride and hope for the JV season as well as the varsity seasons that get more attention: “The JV soccer team is doing well this year, our hopes are up, we’re going to win, and we’re going to do well.” Flores said confidently.
