This week we have Coach Adrian Almas and players, Abbigail Huisman and Klara McArthur on the show to talk girls soccer. While recording the show, I felt like it was a followup episode to S2.Ep23 "Empowering the Next Generation." It's amazing the level of staff here at LHS. You'll hear how Adrian and his staff are teaching the girls to build solid "pillars" to have success in more than just sports. Then the girls speak of what they have learned from the program.

The girls team is looking for a few more players so they can get back to having a JV and a Varsity program this year. The benefit to having two teams is huge for any program and allows for more playing time.

There is an upcoming "Spring Fling" fundraiser event at the high school that you will not want to miss!
