2012 Bishop Gorman Boys Soccer Capsule

Head coach: Doug Borgel, fourth season

2011 record: 17-2-2 (15-0-1 Southwest)

Returning lettermen (starters): 15 (Nine)

Top players: MF Blake Balelo (Sr.), GK Thomas Olsen (Sr.), MF Sean Keith (Jr.), D Tristan Blackmon (Jr.), F Austin Moore (Sr.), D Max Higgins (Sr.)

Outlook: The Gaels return nine starters, including six seniors, from a team that lost only two matches last year.

“With heavy playoff experience and a roster comprised of mostly upperclassmen, this year has high expectations for the Gaels,” Borgel said. “A run deep into the playoffs with an eye on the state title is the goal of this team.”
