Last Season’s Highlights

Before we jump into the current excitement, let’s take a quick look back at how the different teams fared last season. It was a wild ride for many of our local squads!

  • The Red Hawks had a tough break, missing the playoffs after forfeiting five games due to an ineligible player. Better luck this year!
  • The Canalmen made a playoff appearance as the No. 30 seed in Div. 5 but were knocked out in the Round of 32.
  • The Crusaders ended the season with the best record on the Cape and Islands, boasting 13 wins and three losses, plus the pride of scoring the most goals at 79! However, an unexpected upset in the Division 5 preliminary round by No. 37 Turners Falls meant their season ended earlier than expected.
  • Meanwhile, The Seahawks faced a challenging season, achieving their third winless season in four years. Talk about motivation for a comeback!
  • The Dolphins entered the playoffs as the 27th seed in Div. 3 and managed to win their preliminary round against No. 38 Auburn, only to fall short against No. 6 North Reading.
  • The Clippers miss the playoffs in 2023 but fought their way back as a No. 29 seed last year. They won their preliminary round before bowing out to No. 4 Dedham.
  • The Mariners are eager to get back into the playoff mix after their absence last year.
  • The Vineyarders experienced a rare playoff miss but secured a respectable 3-2-2 record in their last seven games.
  • The Sharks had a remarkable run to the State Finals in Div. 4 in 2023, though they faced disappointment in the following season without a playoff victory.
  • Finally, The Whalers have shown consistent improvement, racking up at least ten wins for two consecutive seasons after a tough three-win season in 2022.

Defensive Spirits and Aspiration

Let’s not overlook individual contributions! The Rams boasted an impressive defense last year, conceding only 11 goals over 17 games, notwithstanding they didn’t advance far in the playoffs. With nine teams from the Cape and Islands qualifying for their respective state tournaments, it was an eventful year, even though none made it past the Round of 32.

Highlighting outstanding individual performances, Gabriel Martins from Cape Tech emerged as a standout scorer, leading his team to claim the Massachusetts Vocational Championship for the first time! The aspirations for the upcoming season are palpable, with players eager to build on last season’s successes and disappointments.

Now’s Your Chance!

So, Cape Cod fans, who do you think will rise to the occasion this upcoming season? Will the Crusaders maintain their winning streak, or will a dark horse like the Clippers or Dolphins surprise us all again? The competition is fierce, and now’s your chance to let everyone know where your loyalties lie!

Get ready to rally behind your team, and don’t forget to cast your votes! May the best team win as we gear up for another exciting year of boys soccer on the Cape and Islands!
