The 2005 Sherburne-Earlville Varsity Soccer team . . .. . . completed an undefeated season
. . . won its own season-opening tournament and the Hamilton Optimists tournament
. . . won the Division II championship title in the Center State Conference
. . . earned the unofficial all-league title in the Center State Conference by defeating the other division's champions
. . . earned the top seed in Section III, Class B
. . . got farther in sectionals than any Sherburne-Earlville soccer team has before them
. . . broke the school record for games won in a season
. . . broke individual school records for goals scored in a season and shutouts in a season
. . . earned a fourth-in-the-state ranking in Class B from the New York State Sportswriters' Association
. . . played every game in their season with heart, good sportsmanship, and class, and turned themselves into a living demonstration of the meaning of the word "team."
Good luck next year to those who aren't graduating and to the coaches -- and as for the seniors, oh, what a way to complete your soccer careers. It's not just your victories we're proud of -- it's the way you won them. Thanks for the fun, the pride, and the memories. Go, S-E!

I updated this post because new rankings came out today from the New York State Sportswriters Association. S-E is now ranked FOURTH in the state in Class B. Wow!
Wow is right. What a great season by a great group of athletes. It really drove it home to see the coaches and their teams last night at the awards meeting. There was a lot of genuine, heartfelt pride and pleasure taken by, seemingly, all the coaches, in the accomplishments of their teams. On the one hand the ceremony was too long and I wanted to it to end, but on the other, I'm glad that there are so many people who are eager to share their lives with kids and give them experiences they will never forget. My hat is off to them.
There are a lot of incredible people in the world.
