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: Albert Gross (fifth season).
Last season, 43rd District: 11-5-1 (44 GF/28 GA) lost 3-0 to Lexington Catholic in the 43rdsemis.
Outlook: “I think we have just the right mix of players defensively, in the midfield and attacking-wise that sort of all the pieces are starting to come together,” Gross said. The Commodores should contend for a regional slot, and anything can happen after that.
SITB impression: The time has come for Tates Creek to become a serious contender in the 11th Region. They should be able to play with anybody.
Player’s take: Junior Spencer Waldrop — “I think we have some big things to come. I definitely see us making it pretty far this year.”
