Reggie’s Coach applauds his performance on the Varsity team.

“I am very proud of Reggie’s accomplishment. It is a testament to his work ethic, passion and desire. He has served as captain the past 2 seasons. His ability and leadership has been the key to our success.” Varsity Soccer Coach, Jeff Waldrop stated.

Although Reggie has been praised for the score he set, he attests his victory to his team.

When asked how he felt about his success, Reggie humbly replied, “I’m excited because it makes our team look good because of all the things they’ve done to contribute. It puts a smile on all of our faces and makes us all feel good about ourselves”.

The varsity soccer team made it to the playoffs for the 4th year in a row this year, and they were one point away from first at the district tournament. Reggie Gonzales dreams of playing soccer for a professional team. Reggie carries the spirit of AHS on his shoulders.
