Field Of Dreams
This years Men's soccer team is aiming higher than ever before, with the motivation of last years loss in the CIF semifinals against St. Augustine, who would eventually claim the title, our Raiders are looking for their piece of glory.With a start of 9-1 in league play, these Raiders have more then the momentum to go farther than any team has gone in school history.Last years squad seemed to be revolved around a few all-star players, but as senior defender Jose Duran said, "these year we have a more flexible and well-rounded team, we're going all the way, we have to."
Up to now their promises have been secured with the advantage of being in first place in league and being two games away from claiming the fourth men's soccer banner in a row, and over 7 in total over the last decade at Southwest High. Close competitors like Chula Vista are aiming to knock down our Raiders in the last phase games, but like player, Luis Nunez said,"they don't know what's come after them, we're stronger than before, maybe the best team we've ever had in school history, I promise, everyone is in for a surprise, we're going the distance, beyond our CIF hopes."

This determination and ambition showed by these Raiders, can't go in blank notice to the school, the great support the home crowd has showed has been outstanding, the cheers and cries for the home team have guided the spirit of the soccer squad. But the fight doesn't end here, with two games left to claim the banner and another ticket to CIF playoffs, the team is working harder than ever, the players are giving there 120 percent at practices and in the last stretch of the season, like Coach Gio Medina tells the school, "these boys are ready to make every game count, we're making history not only for the school but letting everyone know who are the Southwest Raiders are, champions."
