With the high school soccer season coming to an end, the seniors on this team will be missed. But, each of them plan on moving forward onto bigger and better things after they graduate. Overtime, the girls have become more than just a team. They became a family as well. Through tough moments, these girls will always cherish memories and wish the rest of the team good luck as they continue to play.
Leaving a Mark
For every athlete, senior night has been something that they look forward to so they can be recognized for their hard work and dedication to the team throughout the years along with their achievements on and off of the field. The environment created a bittersweet atmosphere as the seniors came together and reflected on how much they had grown together. The surrounding players, younger athletes, and parents showed appreciation by decorating the bleachers and making signs for every senior with pictures from when they started playing up until their senior year.
Blood, Sweat, Tears, and Teammates
To kick off senior night, the players were escorted by their parents onto the field where they met their teammates for hugs, happy tears, pictures, and received roses.“I felt a rush of emotions with happiness and sadness about senior night, but also being focused and ready for a game. I loved all the decorations they did for us. I even got a huge balloon,” Hoffeditz said. Walking out with her mom and dad, the announcer made known her plans for after high school. “I’m going to Bloomsburg University to play D2 soccer and major in business,” Hoffeditz said. Along with her future plans, the senior shared her favorite memories from her years of playing soccer. “My favorite memory was dressing up for pink out in support of breast cancer awareness,” Hoffeditz said.
