The article highlights his role on his travel team, the Baltimore Bays Chelsea, which just won the National Title in their age bracket. But, just as importantly, it also focuses on why Romy, who had his pick of schools, chose to play and [...]

Though Ceviche didn’t make it through to the second course round of 16, the team did close out the Summer 2010 season with plenty of chiles. The squad, which also goes by the Fish, Raw Fish, Pink and many other savory and unsavory names, includes various Burke friends and family. Some Burkies grace the photo [...]

As you can see from the photos below and at BurkePix, there were several teams wearing the colors of powerful soccer nations, including Brazil, France, Netherlands and Lichtenschlang.

Ceviche (the DC soccer league team manned and womanned by various so-called adult Burke-ified players) had a rocky start to its Spring season – opening 0 and 2. Things were headed in the wrong direction as the team went into yesterday’s game. The team needed a major shake up. We needed to call in the [...]
Ceviche: Always In Season
Posted in Community, Sports, tagged soccer, Sports on November 9, 2009 | 1 Comment »
For those that don’t follow the “beautiful game,” Ceviche is the football crew made up of Burke folks and friends of Burke folks, all assembled and ably marinated by that tall guy you may recognize in the picture to the left (click photo to embiggen). The “Fish” have multiplied like rabbits, with enough players for [...]

Burke Mens Soccer opened the ’09 PVAC playoffs with an exclamation point victory over Sandy Spring. Tied at 2 after 2 overtimes – the game came down to penalty kicks. Let’s just say Sam H. was “lights out” saving not one, but two PKs. Not too shabby. On to the Semi’s! Photos courtesy of Rick [...]

Time to head back to Andra Sidan, for the report on yesterday’s Burke Middle School Boys Soccer victory… on PK’s! It’s so exciting that, thanks to Burke dad, Peter Andréasson, you can read it twice – once in English and once in Swedish. Now on to the quarter-finals!
Homecoming ’09
Posted in Community, tagged Community, soccer, Sports on October 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
According to Wikipedia, the first homecoming football game took place at the University of Missouri in 1911. Burke puts its own spin on the tradition with its own 2009 homecoming football game at RFK. It was a packed house of students, alums, teachers, parents, sibs, pets, etc… and dwiseguy captured it all on ‘film.’
The Rap of the Ancient Midfielder*
Posted in Sports, tagged literature, soccer, Sports on September 29, 2009 | 1 Comment »
The following unfinished verse was very recently discovered in the library at Cambridge and is believed to have been penned by Samuel Coleridge in a stupor after attending a particularly exciting sporting event. I am fairly certain that this Coleridge ditty has not yet been studied in AP English: I am an ancient footballer Limping [...]
Soccer Doubleheader

It was standing room only at the Women and Men’s Varsity Soccer games this past Monday at UDC. The results this time didn’t go Burke’s way, but both team’s played the ‘beautiful game‘ and left it all out on the pitch. If you weren’t there, you can catch all the action from both games at [...]

Ceviche Prepares for Second Course
Posted in Burke Summer, Sports, tagged soccer, Sports on July 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
On Saturday, Ceviche, aka Raw Fish or Pink, etc., entered the first round of the DC Co-ed Adult Soccer Playoffs. The other team, more highly ranked than Ceviche, showed up in what it claimed to be pink jersies (they looked more salmon to these eyes), causing Ceviche to don yellow pennies. Nontheless, Cevich made sashimi [...]
Meetings

This saturday I went to a morning meeting and had to miss co-coaching my daughter’s soccer game. This week her team was playing Malia Obama’s team. I didn’t feel that bad about missing the game – we had already seen Malia’s team play a couple of weeks ago when we had arrived early to warm [...]
