Just wanted to say thankyou to all the girl soccer players at Neville this year. It's been a great year with a ton of wins and advancing to the state semis. You played very hard all year.
I'd especially like to thank our 7 seniors and look back on the last 4 years.
In 06-07 Neville played in the state championship game. 12 to 13 juniors on the championship team (almost all starters - 9) returned for their senior year in 07-08 when our current seniors were freshman. Five of those freshman made the varsity that year and played significant minutes and started some.
After the seniors graduated from that 07-08 team that left us starting 6 sophmores (our current seniors plus one ) 4 freshman, 1 senior. in the playoffs that sophmore year we played at Zachary and won on a golden goal after being down 2 in regulation. We then had #1 Vandebilt at home and were leading 2 to 1 with 8 minutes to go before falling 3 to 2. Vandy was very strong that year and won every one of their other playoff games by at least 4 goals en route to the state title. Our girls and fans were very excited and made the playoffs each of the following two years winning at least 1 game and making the semis this year.
Its been an exciting fun 4 years and Mazie, Ashton, Lauren, Caitlyn, Olivia, Colin and Kristin we are very proud of you and what you accomplished on the soccer field but we are more proud of the fine young ladies you've become.
