road to a title?

Every game I see the Wethersfield boys soccer team they play better than the last. I can't say I've seen a team definitively better than this one in the three years I've been covering soccer in the state.
Out of curiosity, I asked the team's two managers their thoughts on who the best player was. After goalie Hami Kara, they had difficulty coming to any kind of concensus between the two of them. They nominated about five or six different players and could not rank them.
That says a lot about a team. When those closest to it can't identify a superior player, and the team has done nothing but win all season long, things are looking up.
Following their latest win, a 5-0 romp of Ledyard in the second round on Thursday, coach Rob Jachym and many of the players planned on attending the Farmington-Glastonbury game at night. They can take it easy for a couple days. Their opponent in the next round won't be decided until Avon and Middletown play on Friday and the quarterfinal game won't be until Monday.
"It’s fun going there, knowing you’re in the quarters for once, and watch the other two teams battle," Jachym said. "I’m just going to relax a little tonight and focus on them."
But Jachym will be back to coaching for a short time Friday afternoon, as well as a light practice Sunday. If the Eagles play the way they did today, they won't be losing.
