Deland, FL — NICEVILLE — It's not uncommon to hear the word "family" thrown about the Niceville men's soccer team. Three region titles in four years set the foundation. A 16-2-1 regular season solidified it. Now, its defense gelling amid five straight postseason shutouts at Twin Oaks, the Eagles are unified as they enter the Final Four ranked No. 1 in 6A ahead of Wednesday's tilt vs. Viera at 7 p.m. ET in DeLand. Ask any Eagles player or coach, and they'd tell you this bond transcends the pitch. But for Wes and Keller Nelson and Adrian and Cameron Pearson, the bond runs blood deep. Keller, a senior, is the son of head coach Wes. Fellow senior Adrian is the older brother to sophomore Cameron. For the morose, this could lend for double the heartbreak. For the eternal optimist, it could lend for double the celebration. Wes, never one to wear his heart on his sleeve and fostering a calm, collected tone on the sideline, got a little choked up talking about Keller and the senior class following the Eagles' 1-0 region title win over Chiles on Feb. 22. Niceville head soccer coach Wes Nelson looks towards the game clock during the Niceville Chiles boys soccer district championship match. Niceville won 1-0. "It's been special. The senior class is such a good class. They've fought hard for this and then to have my son be apart of this senior class, this my oldest son, it just feels different. I feel like a coach and a dad at the same time." Keller, likewise, juggles that dual role. "My main thing is, I can't upset him," he said. "Because, No. 1, if we lose I upset my coach. No. 2, I upset my dad. I don't want that to happen. But it's fun. We get to enjoy everything together. We get to stress through everything together, and there's no one I'd rather have as my coach than him." Keller was in the stands when Niceville won the program's first state title in 2020. Seeing his dad reach the mountaintop was incredible. In Keller's swan song, only one title would surpass that. "Every night, he says 'Get ready, we're going to do it again.' So that's what we've been working on from day 1," Keller said. "This year, I think it's going to come true. I think it going to happen." No team has dreamt bigger since Day 1 than Niceville. Knowing it was his brother's final prep year, Cameron has played far beyond his underclassman label and made defenders look silly. "With (Cameron) being a senior and me a sophomore, it gives me a push to win because I know this'll be our last season together," Cameron said. "This is our moment to win." Cameron Pearson watches his shot get past the Forest keeper as he scores late in the second half during the Niceville Forest Boys Soccer regional quarterfinal match. Niceville won 3-0. Likewise, Adrian wants to win for his brother. "Especially with him being out there on the field, being able to celebrate with him the goals, it's different this year," he said. "When we get home, we can talk about it. Every win means that much more." Now, two wins remain, beginning with a foe boasting a nearly identical resume. Also with 21 wins and two losses, fourth-seeded Viera boasts an 82-14 scoring margin with 15 clean sheets. After losing the District 7 title, the Hawks opened regionals with four-goal victories over Lake Gibson and Dwyer before winning the Region 2 crown with a 1-0 victory over New Smyrna Beach. Niceville, of course, hasn't allowed a goal all postseason en route to a 64-13 margin of victory and 17 shutouts. "You've worked so hard to win the district trophy, you've worked so hard to win the region again," Wes told his team in the postgame huddle, "but we're not done. Two more games."
