Season preview: Daniel Boone

DANIEL BOONE
Coach: John Pantone, 5th season
Last year’s record: 9-1 Berks I, 15-6 overall, Berks semifinalist
Players to watch: Seniors Alayna Roesener, def.; Kayleigh Kardos, fwd. Junior Mackenzie Witzel, GK.
Outlook: The spine is just fine for Daniel Boone. The Blazers showed plenty of promise last season while reaching the Berks semifinals. A year later, their top players through the center of the park – defender Alayna Roesener, goalkeeper Mackenzie Witzel and forward Kayleigh Kardos – are back to anchor what they hope will be a deeper playoff run. “The strength of our team continues to be our sound defensive play coupled with our transitional attack. We also feel that set pieces will be the differentiating quality of our squad,” coach John Pantone said. “As always, our team goals include being competitive with the best teams in the district. We believe we can make and win some games in the county and district playoffs.”
