2 Goals 1 Cup

Emily Brey • November 6, 2015

Fossil Ridge students strongly believe in getting involved with the school, whether it’s for logical purposes or even just to make memories with their fellow students. One of the most important parts of the high school experience is building relationships and creating lifelong memories with lifelong friends.

With the foundation of 2 Goals 1 Cup a couple of years ago, by a group of previous seniors, it has turned into one of the traditional, and just down right hilarious activities some of Fossil’s students are a part of. Mitch Hoog a junior, created the team this year that consists of, Dugan Madrick (jr) Grant Martinez (jr) Ryan Cronin (jr) Bella Alessi (jr) Sophie Smith (sophomore) Evan Bergerson (jr) Brady Morris (jr) Ben Rugh (jr) Zach West (jr) as well as Nick Edridge a junior.

They have only played one game and unfortunately lost 7-9 to an Arsenal Club team. They played an intense game with many fouls being called, and hard tackles coming from both teams. Dugan, gave up a foul and was using card board as shin guards and threw a fit when the ref told him he couldn’t play with card board on his legs. Mitch also had a rough game, after karate kicking an opponent the ref gave him a blue card and sent him off the field for the rest of the game. Although they act like they are taking it seriously, they are just trying to have some fun. That’s what high school’s all about isn’t it?

The purpose of doing this for this group of Sabercats, is just to have a good time. Most of the guys on the team play football and don’t have any experience with soccer, but Mitch also recruited some real players. Both Bella and Sophie play competitive soccer and both played Varsity last year for Fossil. “Having those two out on the field really helps us so that we don’t get killed by every team,” said Mitch. They are excited for their next game and are looking for a Win.

About the Contributor

Emily Brey, Sports Editor

Emily Brey is a senior at Fossil Ridge High School who is in her third year on the Etched In Stone staff and is Co-Editor of the Sports BEAT. Emily plays varsity soccer for Fossil and also plays for Arsenal Colorado on the ‘00 Academy team. She is committed to play soccer at Colorado State University - Pueblo and plans to study business and law in college. After attending CSUP, she hopes to attend CU where she will go for her MBA.

Between taking on a full schedule and all of her extracurricular commitments, Emily is a very busy bee this year. Emily is serving as Vice President of FBLA here at Fossil, and is a member of Key Club and NTHS (National Technical Honor Society). She is an ambitious young lady whose reliability, organization, and work ethic has helped her achieve many goals in her time thus far at Fossil Ridge. She is a huge fan of Lana Del Rey and the bands, All Time Low, SWMRS, Waterparks, and The Wrecks. She enjoys spending time outside and organizing things, which relaxes her. When she isn’t covering a story or playing soccer, Emily enjoys being a homebody and watching movies.

The friendly, family-like environment that the journalism program at Fossil encompasses has been something she has valued since freshman year. She would love to be able to continue journalistic work after high school. Emily looks forward to leading the Journalism 1 writers, no matter if that’s in journalism or just life in general. Plus, she hopes to inspire the younger writers to report on other topics besides sports, just because that’s something that she wishes she would’ve done the past two years. Her main goal for the year in journalism is to get better with her coverage, especially with using multiple media platforms. Emily wants to try and expand from her comfort zone of sports writing, hoping to experience writing different journalistic topics.
