See what the players and coach from Frederick Douglass High School had to say about the upcoming 2018 girls’ soccer season.
Jared Peck, Real-Time Sports Reporter for the Lexington Herald-Leader and co-founder of SoccerintheBluegrass.com, visited all nine Lexington high schools and spoke with coaches and players about the upcoming season. Over the next several days, SITB will release videos from the interviews used for the Herald-Leader’s preseason preview: “Girls’ soccer: This season’s top teams, biggest games and best players.”
Excerpted from Kentucky.com. Read the full story at the link above.
Coach: Megan Adkins (second season).
Last season, 42nd District: 1-18-2 (14 GF/73 GA), Lost 1-0 in district first round to Sayre.
Outlook: Douglass remains “super young — lots of freshmen, lots of sophomores,” Adkins said, but “that’s what you get when you build a program.” The Broncos should be in more games and get a few more wins with the inaugural season under their belt.
Player’s take: Sophomore goalkeeper Maliya Crump — “It has gotten a lot better this season. … I feel a lot more confident this year than I did last year. We’ve had lots of little tournaments and stuff and we’ve done really well.”
SITB impression: Expect a big step forward for this program in its second year. Still young, but the Broncos’ skill is improving and their confidence is growing. And with good reason.
