See what the players and coach from Tates Creek 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: Ally Tucker (third season).
Last season, 43rd District champions: 14-7-2 (57 GF/32 GA), lost 3-2 in overtime in the 11th Region finals to Lexington Catholic.
Outlook: Takes Creek has high expectations, as any program with a state title banner (2012) would and all the pieces for a deep tournament run. “We really don’t put too much pressure on ourselves,” Tucker said. “It’s not about thinking about the end product, right now. We’re just trying to take it day by day.”
SITB impression: Tates Creek goes from hunter to hunted and how it deals with those expectations will help determine what it’s able to achieve.
Player’s take: Injured junior midfielder Carsyn Prigge — “It’s not just their abilities on the field (that makes this team special), it’s just about how great everyone is to each other. Everyone rallied around me and helped me. … We’re just a great team to each other.”
