Nevertheless, veterans within the Club had become increasingly concerned that the boys were tiring of Coach Lahr’s laissez-faire coaching approach, and a movement was afoot to replace Lahr for future seasons. These actions were suspended when Lahr pointed out that MYSA leagues end at U19 and he was eager to hang up his player passes.
After promotion to C1 for the 2012 season, the NSSA boys won the North League with a record of 5 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw. On Saturday, in the State semi-finals, NSSA disposed of Eden Prairie by a score of 4-2. Then on Sunday, versus Kelix, the boys played to a 0-0 draw in regulation before succumbing to their opponent in penalty kicks. The 2012 roster for the 92/93 age group includes many young men that have played over a decade with NSSA.
NSSA salutes the 92/93 boys for their years of work and dedication to the sport of soccer. NSSA salutes Tom Lahr for his perseverance and devotion to these boys – and now congratulates him on his retirement! Thank you boys! Thank you Tom!
