ALAMOSA – The Alamosa High School boys soccer team opened the 2024 season on Monday as it hosted Salida at the AHS stadium.
The Mean Moose were unable to score a goal after 80 minutes of play. But the Alamosa defense was stingy as it also did not allow any goals either in a 0-0 draw.
“I think our boys worked hard,” said Alamosa coach Hector Ramos Garcia. “We’ve been here together all summer long. We spent the entire off-season working and plotting and planning. I think it came to fruition today. Salida’s a tough opponent and we’re happy to have played them as close as we did.”
The Spartans were the more aggressive team as they had 11 shots on goal compared to four for the Mean Moose. Salida also had nine corner kicks with Alamosa having none.
AHS goalkeeper Todd Broyles stopped all 11 shots he faced.
Alamosa (0-0-1) will host Lamar on Saturday.
“We played Lamar tough the last couple of years I’ve been here,” Garcia said. “They’re always a fun team to play and I look forward to seeing them again and putting some of our work we’ve done all week long into motion and into fruition.”
Game time at the AHS stadium is at 1 p.m.
