Get ready for extreme action on the field as the girls soccer team ties up their cleats for another season. There have been a few changes from last year’s squad, and the team has lost 4 seniors as well as gained a few new players. Even in light of the recent changes to the squad, the overall season outlook is pretty good.
“I think we’re a good young team,” Coach Boyle said, “And we want to continue to build and get better.”
While the mid-field and top look pretty promising, the defense for this year’s team looks a little sketchy. Also, the team has failed to have a good practice due to all of the snow on the ground. But with all of the wonderful Colorado weather lately, that’s expected to change.
In addition to the two new freshmen added to the squad, there are also 3 new
sophomores who will be joining them Melanie Amore, Jessica Polly, and Kelly Ferguson. Key players to the team’s success this season are, Jalin Ford, Brianna Hepburn, Madeline Frolly and Najia Shadi-Kingsley. Hopefully the new, youthful roster will bring RHS girls to victory.
But what exactly makes a good soccer team? What types of traits are required for a successful year? Is teamwork important? Or is skill the most important factor?
“Basically when they’re all playing together,” Coach Boyle said, “When everybody on the field knows what everyone else is doing and they can act as a unit.”
Well, there you have it, there is no I in team. If the RHS girl’s soccer team can put their heads together and work efficiently as a team, than anything is possible. The next game is on Thursday, March 18th vs. Chaparral at 7:00 pm. So get out there and support the Rangeview girls’ soccer team.
