COACH’S COMMENTS
“… From getting started in the gym way back in late January to now we have one thing on our mind and that is get back to the OVC Championship game and bring the trophy back to Louisa.”
“… We have one game left to get there and that’s tomorrow night against East Carter. We have played unbelievable soccer this season from start to finish with having lost one game in overtime to Ashland.”
“…I can’t say enough about the work ethic this team has and how they all get along so well. They are a great group of girls with a bright future on and off the field. I am more than proud to say I am their coach. Come out and support us for tomorrow night at 7:30 at Ashland Paul Blazer HS field as we look to advance to the championship game on Saturday!”
