Varsity finished the sweep of Radford on Monday night winning 3-1! We had a bit of a rocky start to the game giving up a goal less than 5 minutes into the game. The girls did not give up and responded right away putting pressure on Radford’s defense. Around 10 minutes later Alisia Torres Lopez found Callie Harris to tie it up 1-1. With 4 minutes left in the first half Savannah Swecker was driving with the ball into the box for a goal scoring opportunity but was taken out by a Radford defender right before she was able to shoot.

      This awarded us a penalty kick that Callie finished to put us up 2-1 going into halftime. The second half was very physical. Fifteen minutes into the second half Yeili Urbina found Savannah over the top to stretch our lead to 3-1. Our defense did a great job of not giving Radford many opportunities after the first one they scored.

      Our defense included Jackie Arellano Torres, Genesis Harmon, Elena McKenzie, and Aliza Hardy. All 4 of these girls played a great game. The girls finished out the game very strong in a very intense atmosphere. Overall, this was another awesome win for the team!! It’s only the second time the Varsity Girls have swept Radford in a season since we have been in the district for 9 years.

Congratulations 🎊 Coach and players !

” Four Goal Haul – its like a HAT 👒 TRICK went to the buffet and got seconds !”

Thank You to Alexis for putting that into words for me !

Having spent parts of two back to back days in the press box 📦 with this impressive young man earlier this season, Hez jumped off the page in just how mentally sharp he is. Anytime a teenager can impress me to that degree, I immediately think about his or her parents and how well they raised their child !

Hopefully, some folks on The Hill will cross paths with #13 today, smile in his direction, and say, “I heard what you did last night !”

After the final out of our 6-1 setback last night, Madison Coleman made the trip upstairs to pick up her senior note cards from her teammates, and it allowed me the opportunity to ask the precious young  Lady if she smiled during her ceremony ? The answer was a quick yes and it came with another smile !

  This year, we are saying goodbye to six seniors, and the personal goal during their brief moment in the Sun is to make a personal connection that will make it more memorable for the family.

Tonight, we will conclude our series with Emma Harman, and there are two things about Emma that can be noted. First, her achievements in her Dance 💃 career and second, she accounted for the very first run scored on the recently added scoreboard at Cavalier Park.

Thursday night was about Madison and her level of relationships with both God and her family. The only way that the moment could have been better was if her brother Logan had arrived to the game in time.

Over the past few years, we have watched Madison grow up to become a confident young lady, one that is so comfortable with herself that she is about to embark on a Mission trip to the far side of the World 🌎.

Her father is as quiet as her Mom 👩 is personable, and together, they raised quite a kiddo ! Hopefully, they were smiling as well…
