See what the players and coach from Lexington Catholic 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: Jonathan Kincheloe (seventh season)
Last season, 43rd District and 11th Region champions: 17-7-2 (63 GF/ 32GA), lost 2-0 to Ryle in semi-state opener.
Outlook: The Knights have one of the best midfield-striker combos in the region, but must retool the defensive back line. “If we can put that together, I’m optimistic about what we can do.” They should be.
SITB impression: Last season was a breakout performance and given their returning players, there is no reason to believe the Knights can’t keep it going.
Player’s take: Senior Jackson Kirn — “Last year, we weren’t favorited to win the district. We never are. But we went (to the district), shocked them, then went into region and shocked them again. We’ve got the kids again to put in the work.”
