Last year was one of year of "firsts" in many areas for the Glenbrook South boys soccer team. Paul Agombar was in his first year as head coach, the team's 4-0 start was one of its best ever and an eight game losing streak was one of its worst in school history.
The last season struggles were focused around midfielder Luke Harrison. Harrison, now a senior, missed the final 11 games after he suffered a concussion in a 7-0 win over St. Edward.
