Brownyard fills WCMS soccer team

Warren County Middle School girls soccer coach Alan Brownyard held tryouts last week to fill his 2007 squad for the upcoming fall season.

Girls hoping to make the team worked out at Pistole Park last Monday and Tuesday of last week, in two-hour sessions. Over 32 upcoming sixth- through eighth-graders competed for 15 spots on the varsity team and 13 spots on the junior varsity team. The girls went through a variety of drills to test their foot speed, ball handling abilities and their overall athletic skills.

?I was very pleased with the turnout and this had to be one of the best quality group of girls I have ever had at a tryout,? Brownyard said. ?This year we are going to be deep on both squads. All but three players on the varsity team are returning, and the junior varsity team is filled with quality players. I?m very excited about the upcoming season. I had some very hard decisions to make this year and I would like to thank everyone who tried out.?

Brownyard will hold optional workouts throughout the summer starting in June. The workouts will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8-9:30 a.m. at either the WCHS field or Pistole Park. Official practice will begin July 24.
