It’s been a long 18 months since Allen Community College’s soccer team has seen the pitch for a real game.
Normally, the Red Devil soccer season is over before Thanksgiving.
However, one of the offshoots of the COVID-19 pandemic that put the sports world on its ear also forced schools to push back some sports.
That meant delaying the soccer season for Allen’s squads from fall to spring.
“We’re the last ones to start,” Allen head coach Doug Desmarteau said. “The guys are excited. They’re champing at the bit, ready to play against some real competition.”
