Soccer Team Is District 22 Champion For the 1976-77 year, the Jackets once again displayed why they are one of the top ten teams in Ohio. They flaunted a defense that permitted opponents a meager one goal per game. This led them to a compilation of a 10-4-1 record. With the record-setting defense functioning,the Jackets often had close, low-scoring games, with the difference in scores being only one goal. Tom Benefiel's ten goals led the offense, which demolished teams in the first half of the season, but could not maintain the pace for the remainder.
