  1. kings102876 Since you are new to the HHS soccer program, I will be anxious to read your posts in the next 3-4 years. Between boys and girls, I was extremely involved in the HHS soccer program for 12 years. I thought it would be unbelievably painful to not be involved in the program this year. Not so!! I am extremely relieved not to be part of the mess that is HHS Girls Soccer. I hope the seniors have a successful post season. It is so disappointing that some very talented former players felt they were better off to leave the team. When you have a 4 year varsity player quit mid-season, there is a problem. IMO.

  2. What the heck is going on with the HHS Girls Soccer Program? I see other HS teams refer to it as a train wreck. What exactly does that mean? Three players quitting, one being a 4 year varsity player. Things must be BAD… It is a shame as last years varsity came on strong at the right time and ended up with a decent season. Is there a problem with leadership on the team? Does anybody know what is really going on?

  3. AS a parent of a former HHS soccer player, all I can say right now is that I am truly glad that we are no longer involved with the program. The former coach had his own rule that he wanted to give all interested freshmen the chance to play soccer. He did not cut freshmen to keep 8th graders, let alone 7th graders. KHSAA rule used to state that a middle schooler could not be on the field if a junior was also on the field. I have been told that has been changed to reflect that a middle schooler can not be on the field if the opposing team has a junior rostered (this would mostly pertain to the JV team). In my opinion, a middle schooler should not take the place of an interested HS player, even if the middle schooler is better. That student will have 4 years to shine. HS sports are just that - High School Sports. The percentage of players who go on to play at the college level is minuscule. The percentage who go on to play beyond college is almost nonexistent. High schools sports need to get back to where they belong. Girls/Boys playing for their school team and taking pride in that. As far as the misconduct of some of the HHS players who are screaming, yelling, swearing at their team mates, It is a poor coach who allows that to take place, especially if it isn't dealt with. As far as having a parent coach, that usually doesn't work well on club teams, let alone HS teams. It was very disappointing to hear of the coach selection. The current coach would be an amazing trainer. That is what he does for a living, and is very successful at it. I don't think the same can be said for his coaching of a HS Varsity team. And as far as his supposed personal issues at the moment…we won't even go there!! The fact that his HS Soccer webpage is centered around "INTEGRITY" would be laughable if it weren't so sad.
