Jonny Galvan from Newton was a first team all-league selection last season, where scored seven goals and assisted on 11 others.

The Railers made it to the semifinals of the Class 5A Tournament in 2022 and took fourth.

“What I’m mostly excited about this season is all the new challenges that we are going to face,” Galvan said.

Galvan not only worked out on his own throughout the summer, but also spent significant time with his teammates.

“I would go train with the team almost every day,” Galvan said. “We were doing things that are going to make us better, practicing our weaknesses to prepare us for this season, so that we are great on those areas during the season.”

Improving his “weak foot” is what Galvan devoted much of his individual offseason time to.

“I’ve been working on it during the off season and it has been getting better and better every day,” Galvan said.

Getting back to the final four is just one of the goals Galvan wants to accomplish in his senior season.

“Goals I have are getting first team in everything and having a goal contribution in every game that I play,” Galvan said. “The goals I have for the team are winning our league and also winning regionals; to take us to state again.”
