New LM Soccer Alumni Website Happenings

For those of you who have not visited our LM Soccer Alumni website yet please check it out at: lmsocceralum.org. There are records and stats for every LM's boy's soccer team, dating back to the very 1st team in 1924. There are also Playoffs records, All-Central League picks, Individual School Records, Team School Records, Coaching Records for every LM coach, JV & Freshman Records, and much more. Check it out.

There are also 2 new additions to the site:

1. A tribute to Jimmy Brown, a standout student & 3-sport athlete from LM in the mid-80's. Tragically Jimmy was critically injured in a car accident in 1986, and despite the challenges he faced due to the accident, he never lost his spirit and love of life.

2. LM Soccer Videos, where we're able to post game videos from any year they were filmed, as well as the "Highlite Videos", that were put together at the end of many of those seasons.

To start we have posted the "Highlite Videos" for 1986, 1987, & 1988, along with the LM Soccer Documentary "The Tradition Continues", which tracks the history of LM Soccer, from 1924 thru 2007. This is a must watch for all LM Soccer Alumni who haven't seen it yet because you are the ones that helped build this tradition of excellence.

We will be posting more "Highlite Videos", as well as individual game films as they become available, as well as updating the documentary.

LM Aces take the field

The LM Aces are already 2 weeks into pre-season practice, with their 1st scrimmage coming up next week. Coach Severini lost 7 starters to graduation, and the new "Academy" rule (which prohibits all high school soccer players playing on Academy teams from playing for their high school team this Fall) has taken 4 of the Aces top players. It should be a challenging season for LM, but a challenge that these young Aces are looking forward to.

LM Soccer Alumni Weekend

is only 4 weeks away, Friday & Saturday, September 21st & 22nd. We have already been receiving many checks for the Friday night (Sept. 21st) LM Soccer Alumni Dinner at Edgmont Golf Club, which is open to all LM Soccer Alumni from any year, as well as their spouses, significant other, and parents. It begins with an open bar at 7:30 PM, which continues throughout the evening, followed by a buffet dinner.

We will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of the 1987 State Championship Team, with most of the players & coaches from that team in attendance. A 25 minute video, highlighting that magical season, will be shown at the dinner.

Our annual "LM Soccer Alumni Game" will be played the following morning, Saturday, September 22nd, at 11:45 AM, on the old grass soccer field at Arnold Field. It will be the Alumni from that '87 team playing against Alumni from other years. We hope we can get a big turnout.

If you haven't already done so the cost for the buffet dinner & open bar is $65 per person, and the cost of the Steve Fountain Golf Event is $150 per person (but that includes the reunion buffet dinner & open bar). Please put down the names of any guests that will be joining you, and make your checks out to "LMSAA". You can mail them to Jim VanDusen at:

Also let us know if you plan on playing in (or just attending) the LM Soccer Alumni Game on Saturday morning, September 22nd, at 11:45 AM on the grass field at Arnold Field. Lunch will be provided for all LM Soccer Alumni & families after the Alumni Game, so we need an accurate count so we don't come up short on lunches.

Hope to see you all there at Edgmont on Friday, September 21st and at Arnold Field the next morning.
