It was hard to tell who the real Coach Cat Bradley was at Flagler Palm Coast’s girls soccer practice on Oct. 31.
The players were dressed up in Halloween costumes when they arrived at the practice field. Three players dressed as Coach Cat, the team’s varsity assistant and JV head coach.
Some players wore inflatables. One player wore a dinosaur inflatable as she warmed up. Others wore pink tutus.
Four days later, on Monday, Nov. 4, the Bulldogs opened their season with a 2-1 victory over Celebration. Sophomore forward Katherine Ouellette scored both goals for FPC, which was back on the road the following night, defeating Orlando Innovation, 3-0.
The Bulldogs’ home opener is Friday, Nov. 8, at 7:30 p.m. when they will face St. Augustine (0-1).
FPC’s boys soccer team also played its season opener on Nov. 4. The Bulldogs shut out Crescent City 2-0 on the road. Jack Moberly scored both goals. Goalie Teagan Paulo had the clean sheet.
It was the first of five straight road games for the FPC boys team, which does not have a home game until Nov. 21 against Seabreeze.
The Matanzas boys soccer team won 1-0 against Beachside in its season opener on Nov. 4 at home. Christian Reyes scored the lone goal. Beachside played the ball back to the keeper, and Reyes pounced, slotting the ball past him.
The Pirates are back home Nov. 8 against St. Augustine (0-1). The Matanzas girls played their season opener on Tuesday, Nov. 5, at New Smyrna Beach. They host Mainland at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7.
