This year we started a varsity soccer team for our school. In the previous years we never had enough people interested in the sport to actually have a team, but this year, former professional soccer player John Carpenter came to Bluegrass to be our head coach and put forth an effort to get a team started. We have two assistant coaches, Coach Tom and Coach Wycoff, who also are teaching us what they know about this challenging sport. We have a total of seventeen players on the team ranged from grades seventh through the twelfth grade. Our two captains of the team are senior Joshua Branham, and junior Dylan Johnson. We are in the Kentucky Christian Athletic Association or KCAA which is comprised of about thirty different schools all around Kentucky. As a group we are all learning the great sport of soccer and for our first year, trying to acquire some basic skills and moves of the game. We have about three players that have played on an organized soccer team and as for everyone else this our first year.
So far we have had a total of five soccer games and we tied our first game against Highlands at a score of 2-2. Although we have not won any of our other games, we have all had a blast as a team, learning something new about the game every time we play and gaining skill and knowledge every game. We are continuing to grow closer as a team and are progressively getting better as a team as well. Bluegrass's next game is next Friday, September 7 against AIE in Louisville! Next year we will have a good and experienced team ready to take on the league!
