Girl’s Soccer 2010

The 2010 girls soccer team has entered into a new era: the Len Carlson era.

 In his first season so far, “practices are more intense, games are more competitive, and the atmosphere around the team is stronger than ever,” said senior goalkeeper Valerie Perry.

 Len Carlson has instilled a new look on the girls team and he says they are, “dedicated, determined, and relentless.” Their play compliments the fact with the first game being a victory against Louisa. The new coaching regime is bigger, badder, and has an in-your-face attitude.

 Carlson said his team has a key ingredient implanted in its game plans that other teams do not: the “heart factor.” With this heart factor in mind, Carlson picked his squad based on talent and sheer athleticism, not seniority.

 With five starting underclassmen on the team (Chelsea White, Jessica Strong, Kacey Payne, Cristal Iden, Jessica Cisson, Tori Huber, and Candice Marbaker), Carlson sees this team with loads of potential for years to come.

 With the season upon the team, the coach had this to say, “It’s us against the world- no one respects us based on the team’s prior history. We plan to right the ship and make a name for ourselves in the district. Chancellor and Courtland are the favorites to win the district but I feel confident we can play with them.”

 With the new charismatic coaching staff, untapped potential, and a desire to win, the 2010 Girls Soccer team is one to watch.
