As a senior Izzy Hoffeditz knows she will be attending Bloomsburg University to play D2 soccer. She has been on James Buchanan’s girl soccer team since her freshman year; she has also played on a travel soccer team for 14 years. Izzy said her favorite thing about playing soccer is, “ making those big time saves. That is really important. And I’ve been on so many soccer teams that I have so many friends from around the state, even out of state, and friends who play in college now. And it’s cool to see them grow up and play these big Division One schools.” Every sport has their highs and lows, so I continued to ask Izzy what her least favorite thing about soccer is and she said, “My least favorite part about soccer, I don’t really have a least favorite part. There’s definitely some things I don’t like. Playing in the cold but besides that, I love everything about soccer.”

Since Izzy is a senior I asked what has been your favorite part of high school and she said, “I mean if I had to pick my favorite part of high school. Would probably have to be, definitely sports. You basically get a big group of friends and I’d say going to other sporting events and supporting your other friends who play sports, especially. It was my sophomore year. The volleyball team went to districts, and it was cool to see them win. It was cool to be there and support them.”. Even though Izzy is a very talented athlete, she also enjoys going to Mama’s Pizza and hanging out with friends, shoe shopping especially bright pink shoes and Nike Air Max, and taking care of her goats and dog. Izzy has close to 30 goats and her dog is a Doberman and Australian shepherd mix.
