Experience is the advantage this year’s women’s Soccer Team has over other area teams. This year’s team consists of nine seniors, five of whom have played varsity all four years.
The CHS women’s Soccer Team is the most feared in the area. Manager Natalie Thompson explained, “We are very confident that we have a good shot at a state title this year.” The team, school, and city agree that the goal is state for the Crusaders.
It is safe to say that the bar is set high this year, but rightfully so. Senior Sarah Boles, who leads the defense for the fourth year in a row, said, “Besides having experienced seniors, the team has great chemistry on and off the field, and that’s what separates us.” Most of the seniors on the team have also played club soccer together for many years.
Being a state contender is nothing new for this team, as they were a tournament threat the past three years. Because of previous powerful seasons, the expectations are high. Seeing how the team deals with this change will be exciting to watch.
The girls Soccer Team is 3-0, coming from wins over PHS and West Florida Tech. Tuesday, November 6, they will square up against Panama City Bay at Catholic at 5 pm. Senior Katie Richmond, who has verbally committed to the University of Florida, leads the team.
