For the past several years Lyndonville and Barker have merged for a girls varsity soccer team which competes in the Niagara-Orleans League.

Now this fall, Lyndonville and Barker will also be combining for a boys varsity soccer team which will compete in the Genesee Region League.

Anchoring the squad will be Lyndonville’s veteran group of seniors Jesus Reyes, Brody Hazel, Michael Alexander and Ethan Franks along with juniors Jacob Franks, Chanse Amsdill, Logan Fonda, Amir Zimmerman, Gavyn Draper; sophomores Maddox Smith, Barrett Alexander and Iziah Rodriguez.

The Tigers graduation losses included Colton Smith, Raul Morales, Greyson Romano and Austin Fonda.

Coach Casey Winiecki’s squad went 6-6 in G-R action last fall and 10-8 overall.

The fledgling Lyndonville/Barker squad will open with a non league game at Park on September 3 and then begin G-R competition at home on September 9 against defending champion Kendall.
