HEAD COACH Levi Nunnally First Season
Levi Nunnally was hired as the second head coach in the history of the Northwest women’s soccer program in July and will lead the team in 2013. A 32-year-old native of Southaven, Nunnally spent the past five seasons as the women’s assistant coach at Young Harris College (Ga.), where the Mountain Lions went a combined 52-30-5 and made the playoffs twice before transitioning from junior college to a four-year college. While at YHC, Nunnally had 14 former players named to All-Region squads, two JUCO All-Americans and also had three former players go on to play semi-pro soccer for the Dayton Dutch Lions and Knoxville Lady Force. Prior to YHC, he coached at top quality soccer camps in Colorado
and Connecticut for No.1 Soccer camps and also coached summer camps in Mobile and Memphis. His coaching career began in 2007 with the McMinn United Futbol Club where he coached the U9 Girls/ Boys and U10 Girls/Boys teams. Nunnally played college soccer at Itawamba where he made the NJCAA All-Region XXIII Team and was named team captain his sophomore year. He continued his soccer career at Tennessee Wesleyan where the Bulldogs won the 2001 Appalachian Athletic Conference and Region Championship to qualify for the NAIA National Tournament. He was a team captain his senior year and served as a graduate assistant for both the men’s and women’s teams in 2003-04. Nunnally received his bachelor’s in business management from Tennessee Wesleyan in 2004 and is pursuing his master’s degree in coaching and athletics administration from Concordia (Calif.). Nunnally replaces Peter Jarjoura, who went 70-76-9 in 11 seasons and retired on June 21.
2013 SEASON OUTLOOK
For the first time in its history, the Northwest Lady Ranger soccer program will see a new face in charge. Southaven native Levi Nunnally was named head coach of the Lady Rangers in July, after a five-year stint as the assistant coach of the women’s program at Young Harris College. Nunnally inherits a Northwest program that went 5-8 overall last season and is still looking for its first winning season since 2006. Two years removed from playing for the north division championship in the regular season finale, Nunnally is hoping to put his team back in position to compete for a division title and bring in some new mindsets to the program, including preaching the importance of physical fitness.
“They have to be able to play and give their all for 90 minutes,” Nunnally said. “It’s important that each one is able to play for all 90 minutes, not just halfway. You have to be fit in order to succeed and win in this league.” Scoring goals was an issue for the team last season, but seven of the returning 11 sophomores scored at least one goal, including Emily Williams and Alex Young, who scored three goals apiece. Also returning is the team’s assist leader, Yanira Cura, along with forwards Emily Castoria and Bree Francis, both of which started every game for Northwest. Ashlee Rogers played all 1170 minutes between the posts last year and will again man
the net. Rogers had 61 saves and allowed 24 goals with a .718 saves percentage. She’s joined defensively by Karly Massengill, Alden Temple and Rachel Elkins who helped post four shutouts on the year. The Lady Rangers welcome 12 incoming freshmen including four-time all-conference selection Alex Jones, who scored 20 goals for DeSoto Central High School in her senior season, and Holly Newman of Olive Branch who had 15 assists her senior year. Both are expected to contribute to the team early. Looking at the division slate, the north is always difficult and division champion Hinds and runner-up Itawamba are expected to compete near the top once again. “Hinds and Itawamba are always a tough battle,” Nunnally said. “I’m looking for us to compete in every single game, whether the goals come in our favor or not. The bottom line is just to compete.” The games against Hinds will certainly be circled on the calendar, as the Lady Eagles are coached by Nunnally’s sister, Marcille McLendon. “I’m especially looking forward to coaching against her,” Nunnally said. “It’s a personal experience I want to enjoy, but at the same time the team talks about Hinds and wants to beat them. It’s always a big game for them and it’s going to be a battle.” Northwest opens the regular season on Aug. 23 at Southwest Mississippi and their home-opener is set for Aug. 31 against St. Charles. “The main challenge is finding the right pieces to fit together as a team,” Nunnally said. “It’s not always going to be the best player for every position, but who plays well together and how the team gels together.”
