Lady Lions Soccer team

Advances to the ELITE 8

By Samantha DePriest

Though it’s our Lady Lions first time competing in GHSA 4A, they are fearless and full speed ahead. Our girls team has been on the road quite a bit lately traveling 4 hours down to play Southeast Bulloch last week. After a 2 1/2 hour weather delay, they brought home the “W” and returned to campus around 3am in the morning. Last night they traveled to play Shaw of Columbus and brought home another win of 7-0 to advance them into the Elite 8.

Coach Lance Duncan shared how proud he was of the girls and especially the younger members of the team. “Freshman Peyton Daniels scored 2 goals and started the scoring. Fellow Freshman Ashlyn Ing scored 3 goals, Freshman Kathryn Andrews scored 1 goal and Sophomore Hudson Deutscher scored 1 goal. Assists by Jordan Rawlings (Junior) - 1 , Emerson Reifschnieder (Junior) - 2. 3 goal saves from Lily Wozniak (Sophomore) and a combined clean sheet from Wozniak and Saylor Clough. Defensive lead by Senior Captain Olivia Osse and Sophomore standout Seanna Johnson.”

Goalie Coach Jessica Charman shares, “Elite Eight Bound! Unbelievably proud of the goalkeeper union we have built this year and how they are so coachable and determined. Thankful for this opportunity to shape lives on and off the field. Colossians 3:23”

Our Lady Lions travel to Lovett on Monday, 4/24, for a 5:30pm game time. Coach Lance Duncan shares, “I love the work rate of this team and the unselfish nature they possess. They are working to improve each of their teammates and have made major stride on the field this season. This is an incredible group of young ladies who represent TCS so well both on and off the field.” Let’s Go Lady Lions!!!
