The Salem boys soccer season ended in a 1-1 tie with Alcovy at home. The team didn't meet its goal of making the playoffs despite managing to win three of its final four region games, but first-year head coach Anani Amaizo has built a foundation for great things on the pitch at Salem. Born and raised in France, Amaizo - whose parents are from West Africa - went to college in the U.S, but at the time it was much to his surprise and chagrin.
