Grade 10 squad _ “perform as Saints OVER the past two years, Saint Thomas Aquinas has quietly gone about building a dynasty. The North Vancouver Catholic secondary school’s Grade 10 boys’ soccer team has compiled an_ impressive 21-1 record over the course of the past two seasons — and the private school doesn’t even have a playing field! “The thing that’s uncanny about this is STA has only thmee Grade 10 classes,” says team manager Peter Golinsky. “So from about 50 guys we had 20 come out for the team.” STAis the only North Shore school fielding a Grade 10, or junior, team. “For boys’ soccer in partic- ular, the community pro- grams take in players that want to play, so there would be duplication,” said North Shore Secondary School’s athletic’s coordinator Len Corben when asked why there is no North Shore junior league. Golinsky and Saints’ team coach Bill Sandberg started the STA junior team two years ago. Last year STA played in the J2-team = Vancouver league. This season they made the switch to the four-team Burnaby-New West league. t49n Oct. 10, STA downed New West secondary 1-nil to take the league title. “Because the school draws students from across the ~Necth Shore, the team has been able to attract many top- level players from West Van, Lions Gate, Lynn Valley and Seymour Clubs,” says coach Sandberg.
