STAC West Boys Soccer Labeled As "Story to Watch This Fall"!!
Five in the Fall - Stories to watch as high school sports resume
Horseheads dominated boys soccer West division play for the first few years after the Elmira-area schools joined the Southern Tier Athletic Conference in 1999. But last year Elmira Free Academy took the STAC West with a veteran squad.
This season, according to EFA coach Derek Hamilton, all four teams in the STAC West are building from about the same level and they each have several players with history at the Soaring Capital Soccer Club. These are players with high level skills who are raising the bar for all of high school soccer played in the Southern Tier.
"Seven of the 10 seniors that graduated from our team last year are playing in college this fall," Hamilton said. "We've had some young players coming out of the club that are putting our area on the map. But this year, every team has some of those club players and that's going to make the league wide open."
