The Scottsburg High School boys soccer team season has come to a close but the team left the field with numerous school and individual records were broken. Coach Brandon Jerrel was impressed with the performance of the players.

“This was the most talented team our school has seen in a long time,” Jerrell said. “It’s possible this year’s team was the best that Scottsburg has ever seen. We certainly broke enough school records to make a case for that title. I am extremely proud of the amount of effort that the boys put into this season and the results that they have to show for it.”

The school records broken this season include fewest goals allowed in the regular season: 14 (breaking 2018 record), the fewest goals allowed in one season (includes post-season): 18 (breaking 2018 record), the most shutouts in one season: eight (tying 2014 record), the most wins in one season: 16 (breaking 2014 record), and the fewest losses in one season: two (breaking 2007 record). Many players are happy with the success of the season and the records they have broken.

“The season was excellent,” Noah Smith (11) said. “We exceeded expectations, and I thought we played really well. Although we didn’t end the season as we wanted to [not winning sectional] we played and performed our best.”

Individual records for this season include Jameson Hale who had most saves in one season: 225 (breaking Branden Kiefer’s record of 185, 2008) and best save to goals allowed ratio: 92 percent (breaking Branden Kiefer’s record of 84 percent, 2008). Jackson Campbell had the most assists in one season: 11 (tying Jerrell’s school records, 2008 & 2011). Noah Smith had the second-most goals scored in a career in school history: 38 (behind Matthew Jerrell’s record of 81, 2011-2014).

“We had an overall great season,” Jackson Campbell (11) said. “I was proud of myself and my fellow teammates for our progress and the records we broke. I also broke a record this season for most assists in one season. Even though our season didn’t end the way we wanted, I am still happy about the end result.”

The team ended its season with a record of 16-2-2.

The Warriorette soccer team began with a decent season as they won their first three games. The season continued and brought many accomplishments. Allyson Barger (11) broke a football record, a soccer record and tied for another record. This was the first year the Warriorette soccer team competed in the Hoosier Cup. These new experiences gifted the girls many lessons and memories.

“We’ve really had to work on learning to come back this year. In a lot of games, we’ve had moments where we are not play

ing to our best ability, and we’ve had to learn how to come back and win.” Allie Schmidt (10) said.

“My favorite memory from this year is our picnic on the field. It was a time when everyone got along and no one felt left out,” Olivia Watson (12) said.

The team finished their regular season with a 6-6-3 record.

As the season ended for the team, they said goodbye to four of their graduating seniors: Abby Colson, Riley Pool, Kynleigh Watson and Olivia Watson.

“I really enjoyed seeing the team grow closer and become such good friends,” Riley Pool (12) said.
