Lady Hornets soccer team is ready for a successful season

With a fresh team of smiling faces, new uniforms, and a hopeful attitude, the Lady Hornets soccer team is positive about a successful season this year. The team consists of twenty-three girls and two coaches: Cullen Ball (head coach) and Bruce Booher (assistant coach). Their season is from August through October, with sixteen games to play. The Lady Hornets are more than ready to put up a good fight this season. From winning homecoming last year, the girls are excited and ready to compete with their new equipment from the money raised. They were able to purchase new bags, uniforms, warmups, etc. The girls have also been preparing physically and mentally for the upcoming fall season. The team started their summer conditioning in July, and have been working hard since then to play the sport to the best of their ability to represent the school. When asked what his favorite thing about the team is, Head Coach Cullen Ball stated, “I like the fact that we’re young and we have a lot of young players playing and starting. So, I think it’s good for our future. I think we will succeed in the future.” With these encouraging words, the girls are ready for the season and for the future seasons to come. The Lady Hornets work hard to play their games and senior/team captain, Eva Tolliver, believes they deserve some recognition. When asked why people should come watch the Lady Hornets games, she stated,  “Because you may not think that we’re good . . . but we’re actually very amazing. We have a lot of talent on the field that a lot of people don’t see and if you don’t see it, then you don’t know. We should have a lot of students come out, and the games are free for students, so I mean fun times!” The Lady Hornets soccer schedule and updates about the season are accessible on Twitter (@HornetsCarter: Carter Lady Hornets Soccer) for anyone who is interested in supporting the girls and/or attending the games.
