”This past season has presented unprecedented challenges which presented in ways that required increased mental fortitude and intrinsic motivation for our team to succeed,” remarked Coach Davis after Saturday’s victory.
“Without exception, every returning member witnessed their fitness and speed decline from the last season and have contended with the most abbreviated training season to date. In spite of these circumstances, our athletes rose to the challenge and dug deep from inside to again seize victory. I continue to be inspired and motivated by our team. It is my hope that we all relish in this challenge, keep the momentum going, and use this humbling come-back as fuel to return stronger and faster than before.”
Both the Golden and Lady Eagles Soccer teams will have an opportunity to add to the school’s championship collection during their condensed soccer seasons that are slated to take place this week.
