Varsity girl’s soccer gets taste of success

This year was one of the most successful for the Lady Buckaroos in recent years. The team were able to push through and adjust in spite of many injuries the team had. 

Returning as the head coach this year, Entwistle was impressed with his team.

“We fought hard, they performed their absolute best ninety percent of the time. When I asked them to do stuff they would run through that brick wall and do it and finished 9-8-3. We had a couple of high moments and they did good things in the community,” coach Entwistle.

Otila Castaneda has played all four years and has noticed major improvements in the program this year. 

“We’ve had great players and coaches in the past but the mindset has changed this season,” said Castaneda. “We had a great season this year with a lot of wins and the girls are in good hands for the upcoming seasons.” 

Alia Novi and Viviana Alanis have also played in the past and have noticed significant improvements. 

“Our team chemistry was really good,” said Alia Novi. “Everybody contributed to the making of a really successful season for the Lady Bucks.”

The team has some impressive wins that bode well for the future.

“We were much more successful this season than any other, we beat Spring Creek and tied Elko for the first time in years,” said Viviana Alanis.
