Lady Broncos hope experience pays off
Last year the Lady Bronco soccer team was young and inexperienced, but this year’s squad should hit the field with confidence.
A lot of hard work and determination in the off-season has given the Lady Broncos a new outlook for 2005.
Boyd lost one senior from last year’s squad, and only one senior is there to lead the way this year. But a solid core of juniors and sophomores will lead the way for Boyd.
“I fell very good about the team this year,” said head coach Gina Cleek.
“We are in a new district, playing teams we have never seen before so this is uncharted territory for us. We are ready for our first game and have spent the summer conditioning. The girls went through an awesome camp and have been practicing hard since the first official day of practice.”
The Lady Broncos have moved from District 8-A to District 9-A and will now face Cascade, Community High School, Eagleville, Forrest, Middle Tennessee Christian and Van Buren County.
Although the Lady Broncos are still young, Cleek said she feels the experience each girl gained last season has helped them to better understand the game.
“We have worked on some of last year’s problems, and are starting with a whole new line-up as far as positioning goes,” she said. “We are running a new formation and have worked with the girls on tactical communication. Last season we had a problem with finishing the runs to goal. I don’t think I will see that problem this year. I’m certainly excited about the season and can’t wait to see how the team’s training will pay off.”
