Alton Co-Ed Soccer Squad Cracks Long Losing Streak Under Coach Nasello

ALTON - Soccer coach C.J. Nasello has had a lot of positive accomplishments both as a player and a coach over the years in his sport. However, last week, he encountered what he described as one of his bigger accomplishments as a leader when Alton Middle School's co-ed soccer team blanked Roxana 4-0 at Norman Lewis Field in Roxana.

Sadie Lupercio and Mike Holliday serve as assistant coaches on this year's Alton Middle School soccer squad.

Nasello said he loved the experience of working with this spirited group.

He added that Alton Middle had not won a match until prior to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

"It is definitely good to see them win a game," he said. "This is something we all really wanted. The good thing is we won in a convincing fashion by a 4-0 margin. This was a big accomplishment for the team."

C.J. is the host of the Our Daily Show! on Riverbender.com and also a contributor to a significant amount of the website's content.
