The fall of 1975 was a very special one for the Holley boys varsity soccer team as the Hawks captured the first Section V soccer championship in school history.
Now on the 50th anniversary of that accomplishment, the 1975 soccer squad will be inducted into Holley’s Wall of Fame in ceremonies at the Hawks Homecoming game on Saturday September 27 which starts at 5:30 p.m.
The Hawks 1975 team compiled a record of 15 wins, 3 losses, 1 tie, while scoring 64 goals with only 15 goals against, and recorded 8 shut-outs.
The regular season was highlighted by a 2-1 win over eventual Section 5 Class A Champion Greece Arcadia 2-1 on their home field just before the start of Section 5 Tournament.
In the Section 5 Tournament Holley defeated Harley-Allendale 2-0, Marion 1-0 in the quarter final, Fillmore 2-1 in the semi-final, and winning the Section 5 Championship 1-0 against rival Kendall in a game before approximately 2,000 people held at Spencerport High School’s soccer field.
