Spring sports started out well, with the bulldog track team looking good and the soccer team looking even better.  However, many kids tried out for both sports, making the field look clustered during tryouts.  It started off with a ball, and then a missed kick on goal, and escalated from there.

On occasional days, a ball would be set loose and roll onto the track, hitting track players in the legs, and the occasional face shot.

The track players struck back however, with sophomore Mathis Watson chucking frisbees toward the soccer stars, a completely valid and heinous act, hopefully trying to injure a team member or two.

His attempt was unsuccessful however, missing all players entirely and likely hitting someone on his team in the face.

This looked as if to be an act to show the unnaturally lanky man’s lack of coordination, rather than an attempt on the innocent lives of soccer players, says an eyewitness, Mathis’s best friend Ryan Peterson.

Coaches of the track squad demanded that the soccer players practice at Memorial Field to keep their players safe.

After talking to a few track stars, it became evident that kicking off the soccer players was making the issue a little too heavy, and was unneeded.

Although this gives the soccer team a bigger space to work on, it also increases travel time, having to drive through Seattle’s downtown.

Besides the parking lot outside Memorial Stadium, which costs money during the day, there is almost no parking near the field.

A good solution would be to give the Garfield soccer team parking passes, but the district or school has failed to do so.  Sophomore midfielder Ben Feldman states,
“It’s ridiculous to have soccer move when track has so many more athletes playing,” states sophomore Ben Feldman.

Because track is a no-cut sport, loads of kids try out for track and inevitably all make it.  A good solution says Feldman  “is to have track move because they have so many more kids.”
He also states that soccer is looking to have a very good season but this ordeal may affect some players’ schedules.

There does not seem to be a happy ending in this story, with the soccer team’s hopes of getting the field back looking slim.  The only solution therefore, is to have a brawl — but it wouldn’t be with the athletes.  It would be between the masters of both programs, the coaches.  Not only would this prove the more athletically dominant, it would be a fun-filled activity that all kids could enjoy.
