After four straight seasons of losing in the first round of the state tournament, the Holtville boys soccer team wants to get over that hump. However, it’s going to be a challenge this year as the Bulldogs are replacing eight starters including their two leading scorers.

“We try to start fresh every season so we don’t look back too much on what we had,” Holtville coach Robby Broom said. “The middle school and JV teams run the same thing so we just plug the new pieces in and everything should be pretty familiar.”
