Academic Magnet Boys Team
12 -4 Record Last Year. Lost in the Semifinal game to Oceanside
Academic Magnet enters the 2019 season looking for Tommy Crookes and the senior class to lead and develop the underclassmen. Stephen Schlosser is an exciting, do-everything FOGO/midfielder and will be relied upon heavily. Coach Kamp is excited to get Sophomore, John Thomas, back on the field after a season ending injury in 2018. What the team has lost, they have gained in some incoming Freshmen and returning players who are one year stronger.
"We lost a lot of talent and leadership with graduation and transfer. Looking for this year's Senior class to step up and help lead in 2019."
