OKEECHOBEE- The Okeechobee High School Brahman varsity soccer team is off to a 5-0 start this season.

The Brahmans opened the season with a 2-0 victory over the Palm Beach Gardens Gators on Nov. 4. They followed that up with a big 7-1 win over the Clewiston Tigers the next day on Nov. 5. OHS senior Rodolfo Gomez scored three goals for Okeechobee in that win.

After those two road games the Brahmans hosted their first home game of the season on Nov. 7 against the DeSoto County Bulldogs, with Okeechobee coming away with a 2-0 victory. Freshman Roberto Casas and junior Diego Galeano each scored a goal in that game.

Okeechobee then hit the road for back-to-back district games against the Legacy Lions and Sebastian River Sharks. The Brahmans defeated the Lions 3-1 and shutout the Sharks 4-0. Those two wins bring Okeechobee to 2-0 in district play this season and they are currently ranked first in the district.

Senior Alejandro Lopez had two saves as goalkeeper for the Brahmans, to preserve that shutout of the Sharks.

Freshman Roberto Casas and senior Rodolfo Gomez currently lead Okeechobee in scoring with four goals each. Senior Alexander Gomez leads the team in assists with five. Alejandro Lopez currently has 18 saves this season at goalkeeper.

Okeechobee will have another district game on Nov. 20 when the Jensen Beach Falcons host the Brahmans. Then, in the final game before the Thanksgiving break, the Brahmans will host the Clewiston Tigers for a rematch on Nov. 22.
