See what the players and coach from Lafayette High School had to say about the upcoming 2018 boys’ 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: “Boys’ soccer: This season’s top teams, biggest games and best players.”
Excerpted from Kentucky.com. Read the full story at the link above.
Coach: Chris Grimm (11th season).
Last season, 43rd District: 9-10-0 (21 GF/19 GA), lost 1-0 to Dunbar in district semis.
Outlook: “We’re going to be pretty similar to what we had last year,” Grimm said. “We were very strong defensively, last year, very good in the midfield, but what was tough for us was scoring. … We were in every game. I think 13 of our games were decided by one goal.”
SITB impression: The Generals showed last year that they could hold teams down, but need to find some goal scorers to contend in an offensively powerful 43rd District.
Player’s take: Senior Jace Burt — “We’ve learned a lot on attacking so far — really learning how to take people one-on-one, and being aggressive. We’re trying out different positions and just seeing what we can work with.”
