The long-awaited “Field of Dreams” at Cedar Park Christian School (CPCS) in Bothell celebrated a fine grand opening last Friday afternoon, as the Eagles’ boys soccer team shut out Life Christian, 6-0, in a nonleague game.
The multi-use athletic field, a $1.5 million-dollar project for CPCS, enables the Eagles’ 1,300-student body to have a dedicated place to play soccer, football, baseball, softball and track.
In the first official contest on the new field, which broke ground last spring, Michael Holmquist opened up the scoring in the 17th minute, scoring on an open net off of Conner MacDonald’s assist, with Steven Dressler recording a hat trick (25th, 51st and 71st minutes) and MacDonald adding two goals of his own in the rout.
Daniel Christianson recorded the shutout for the Eagles in goal.
The Eagle boys’ squad, which graduated 14 seniors last year, placed fourth in the state at the 1A level in 2011.
