See what the players and coach from Lexington Christian Academy 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: Casey Greer (first season).
Last season, 43rd District: 10-7-1 (46 GF/37 GA) lost 4-0 in district semis to Lexington Catholic.
Outlook: With only two seniors, “We are very, very young this year.” Greer said. Greer played and assistant coached at LCA for Steve Fugmann, who switched over to the boys’ team. This year, she’ll begin trying to “put back into the program what they put in me. It was probably one of the most favorite times in my life.”
SITB impression: LCA is a bit down in numbers and seniors this season, but its pedigree and key standouts in the front, back and middle should carry them far.
Player’s take: Senior midfielder Madeline Pulliam — “This year is going to be about working together because we lost so many seniors last year. … It’s going to be about building each other up. We’re setting the standard for the younger people.”
