The SHS boys soccer team has started its upcoming season with a record of 9-1-1. It is ready for more victories, and the coach is very optimistic about the team’s performance before the end of the season.

“If we play to our full potential, we can beat every team left on our schedule, including winning sectional and conference,” Coach Brandon Jerrell said. “If we can come out with intensity and focus from the start of each match, we will be a force to be reckoned with.”

The players even have high confidence in their potential success.

“I think we have potential for great things this season,” Nick Murphy (11) said. “We have a great team and coaches who know what they are doing. So far we have done well and I think with our current progress we will do good.”

The team will be having home matches on Sept. 25 and Sept. 26 against Salem and Southwestern, respectfully, at the David Spann Soccer Field.

The Warriorette soccer team jumped straight into the new season with excitement.

“We have a new head coach, Scott Craig. We also had a large group of seniors that graduated last year; we’re a really young team,” Assistant Coach Brian Schimdt said.

Despite lack of experience, the girls have begun developing new skills together as a team.

“We have to do the simple things right because we have to play smart. That’s really our focus,” Schmidt said.

Since the beginning of the season, the girls have also been working on being aggressive, and increasing endurance.

The team has a record of 3-5-1. The girls have shown much anticipation and excitement for the rest of the season, including competing against Scottsburg’s rival, Austin.

“I am looking forward to seeing the growth our team will have in the rest of the season,” Abby Colson (12) said.
