Carlmont went into league play optimistic after a strong preseason against difficult competition. However, most of the sophomores on the team remembered that the year before the Scots dominated the early part of the season. Only faltering when it mattered most to end the season in a disappointing 4th place finish. This year the motto was, “Its not how you start the season but how you end it.”

Again, Carlmont found itself coasting through the first half of league play, with its only blemish being a home draw against Woodside. With seven games left the Scots were in first place with a (6-0-1) record, it was almost deja-vu of the year before. This time though the team was determined to finish stronger than it started.

The second half of the season got off to rocky start with a frustrating loss against rivals Sequoia. The team then rattled off three straight wins to stay in first place.

A critical game lay ahead when the Scots faced Woodside in Redwood City. Carlmont was ahead in the first half with a 1-0 lead but could not close the deal with Woodside scoring three unanswered goals in the remainder of the match.

To win the league Carlmont would need to win the remainder of its matches against Aragon and Menlo-Atherton. The Scots did just that and closed out the season on top!
