I want to commend our Varsity Boy's Soccer Team on a great season. I believe this team played the toughest schedule of any Cullman team. Four of our losses were against the four 6A Final Four teams (Spain Park, Prattville, Fairhope, and Oak Mountain). Three of our losses were against two of the four 5A final four teams (Brewer and John Carroll). One of our losses was against one of the 5A teams (Gulf Shores), that may still get in the Final Four. One of our losses was against Grissom, who was ranked #1 in 6A all season long. One of our shutout ties was against E. Limestone, who is in the 4A Final Four, and they will moving up to 5A next season. Two additional ties were against teams (Albertville and Arab), who were the top two teams in section 6. 

On another note, we had some great wins against our Section 8 opponents. We had a big win against Athens at home and a penalty kick win at their place. Hartselle and Muscle Shoals did not score a goal on us this season, and Athens only scored once. We had a great come back in the section title match to put it in overtime, and this was without one of our team captains. We just needed at little luck in the end in this game, but did not get it.

In our twenty-four games, half of them were shutouts. We shutout the #2 ranked Decatur team in the first round of the playoffs, Vestavia Hills at their place, Austin at home, and a Bentonville, AR team that was the 2005 Arkansas State Champion at Orange Beach.

I think this group of seniors and their teammates have done extremely well and have kept the Cullman Bearcat soccer program going strong. Congratulations on a great season! I appreciate all your hard work and dedication this season. Sincerely, Coach Drake

    Watching the season come to an end is tough. I wish the cats were playing in the final four this weekend. But, I'm proud of you guys anyway. You beat number 2 ranked Decatur just days before facing a tough John Carroll. Personally, I expect John Carroll to win the whole thing. Make sure you keep your heads up and stay positive!!! There are some great players coming back (and coming up) next year! Everybody better watch out!
