Attention Alumni:

We would like to keep in touch with our alumni to share information on this year's teams' successes.  Current players constantly discuss the names of those players before them who set high standards to which they must follow.  Also, we would like to hear where your direction has taken you since Walton.

Please send your contact information to us at soccer.walton@gmail.com.  Include any items that you would like to share with us.  If you are in town, we look forward to seeing you at our Raider Valley games!  Schedules for the 2009 season are posted!

Former Walton player Pat Mitrovich finishes out college playing career
Hey,
This is Patrick Mitrovich. I just wanted to check in with whomever and let you know what was going on with me. I just finished up my senior year of college soccer, and yes time flies. This year we won the Big South Conference Regular Season and won the Big South Tournament. This was my second conference championship as we won it in 2006 also. I have been on Big South Conference First Team from 2006-2008. I was just named yesterday to the 2008 NSCAA All-South Atlantic Region First Team. I had a great time in college and had the opportunity to play for a very good team even though we were usually the underdog. I actually got to play against Connor, Clint, and Mario this season and Walton is definitely being represented by some of the best. I am now pursuing a professional career. I have my first tryout on Dec 17-18, and a combine on Jan 6-8.
Here are some videos worth viewing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWKFcDHQ6hU  - this video is a highlight reel from my first 3 seasons
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X79M6LPLfgc      - this is the video of a PK Shootout from 2008 Big South Semi-final game
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlKzy4htrFI        -this video is of this years Big South Conference Final vs Coastal at Coastal. Anyone who loves soccer will appreciate this video. We went up 2-0 then, they tied it 2-2. I stopped a pk in the first half. They got a second pk with 3 minutes left in the half. We scored to tie it up 3-3 with 30 seconds left ont he clock then won it in over time. This all after some how pulling out the PK shootout in the semis.
I hope this years team is ready to go for another championship. It appears that with the players of the past 3 years have created what you could call a dynasty. I dont know anyone anymore on the team, but I hope they are ready to bring home another one. Proud to be a Walton Raider I believe the saying goes.
Sincerely,
Patrick Mitrovich
