Mark Heinbach is a teacher at the Hillside Intermediate School but he extends his teachings to a classroom that is located on a soccer field.
The Bridgewater-Raritan High School boys’ soccer coach is pleased with how his players are so well educated.
“Their technical ability and understanding of the game is what I really like,” Coach Herinbach shared at a practice on Tuesday, September 3. “They are quick learners and are truly students of the game.”
These well-educated players are sharp enough to be able to learn from the results of the season’s first game when Bridgewater-Raritan fell to South Brunswick High School, 1-0, on Saturday, August 31.
Now Bridgewater-Raritan will hope to school its next opponent–rival Pingry School on Thursday, September 5. The game is set to start at 4:15 p.m. at Pingry’s Miller Bugliari World Cup Field.
Bridgewater-Raritan will be guided this fall by four experienced senior captains in midfielders Joseph LaStella, Jaskeerat Dharmi and Ethan Corrales and defender Andrew Childs.
“We are close-knit, and we play so well together. We can beat anybody with the team chemistry that we have,” Childs said while his three fellow captains stood next to him and agreed.
