The Varsity Boys have their first home game tonight beginning at 4:30 against Clio.   The game is being held at the Handy Middle School field and will be a good contest.   

Come out and support Wolves Soccer.   

GO WOLVES!!

The boys had a good showing at the Bay County tournament over the weekend.   They finished in fourth overall and showed a strong performance.  Goals were scored by Reese Light, Brody Brilinski and Jackson Hutchison, with assists from Jake Brisbois and Jake VanOoteghem.  

     Bay City Central Varsity Soccer faced off against Garber High School on Friday, September 28th. As an intense match up, it was 80 minutes of non stop action.

     The game held some importance. It was also the senior appreciation night for Central. Before kickoff at 4pm, BCC principal Tim Marciniak had the honor of introducing the eight seniors, two of them including the foreign exchange students.

     While intense, the matchup was very even. Central was coming from an 0-8 record, the boys were hoping to pull through with a win. But Garber wasn’t giving in very easy. Central couldn’t get the ball out of their defending third and only had very few shots.

     Coming in at the 52nd minute, Central unfortunately gave up a fluke goal. Even after that, the goal conceded didn’t let the Central squad down. They immediately adapted to Garber’s playstyle but Central couldn't pull through completely and kept fighting until the final whistle was blown.

     But after all that fighting, BCC lost against Garber, 1-0. BCC Senior, Brody Brilinski said in the post-game huddle, “This was the best game of soccer that we have played this season,” giving the team hope and more motivation leading into the rest of the season. Central is now looking to fight for their first win of the season against Laker High School on Thursday, October 4th.

     Central High School Senior, Brody Brilinski has been playing soccer for 12 years. He started playing at the age of five. Brilinski’s parents put him in soccer at a young age and he says he wouldn’t change it if he could. He started off playing BASA, then moved into rec leagues, and now plays at the  high school level and with a travel winter league.

     Brilinski loves soccer and when he's not playing on the varsity soccer team, he plays on a travel team in the off season. When asked what his favorite thing about soccer, Brilinski responded “I like the feeling of scoring goals.” Brilinski spends his time practicing onis off time to get better at the sport.

     When not playing soccer, Brilinski spends time babysitting his one year old brother. “I can’t wait to teach him soccer, and make him my little prodigy,” he said. He likes spending time with him and watching him grow up. “I hope he grows up to love the sport just as much as I do.”

     Brilinski also has a job at ABC Warehouse. He spends a lot of his time working when he’s not at school or soccer. Brilinski works stock at ABC Warehouse and has to lift heavy objects, like washing machines and refrigerators. Brilinski has a busy schedule but it challenges him to be a hard worker and makes him appreciate the time he has to play soccer.
