Gabriel Terrones is a big part of the resurgence of a very young Forks soccer squad this year.
Terrones, goalkeeper for the Spartans, with help from his defense has yet to give up a goal in four matches. In those four matches, the Spartans have outscored their opponents 24-0. And two of those opponents — Bremerton and Lakewood — are bigger 2A schools.
Forks beat Bremerton by a score of 4-0. How impressive is that? Port Angeles, a 2A school with a solid 5-1 won-loss record, beat Bremerton 3-2.
Terrones is a sophomore, which makes him a graybeard on this remarkably young, talented team. The Spartans have a total of seven freshmen, three sophomores and just four seniors on the squad. Keep an eye on the Spartans soccer team this season.
