See what the players and coach from Lexington Christian Academy 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: Steve Fugmann (first season).
Last season, 43rd District: 7-7-2 (43 GF/26 GA) Lost 2-0 to Lafayette in district first round.
Outlook: Coming back to boys’ soccer after nine years as LCA girls’ coach, Fugmann wants to get the Eagles to the regional for the first time in their history. “Going against those teams all season, I have to coach harder, they have to train harder. Really, it pushes us.”
SITB impression: Fugmann had great success the last time he was a boys’ coach at Lafayette. It might take an adjustment period with LCA as the Eagles try to contend in the 43rd.
Player’s take: Senior Dawson Hendrickson — “We’re definitely improving. It’s just new positioning on the field. Communication is very important.”
