Playing for ALHS soccer team

 This past year was my third year of playing soccer for the shoregals. I can't believe that next fall will be my last and final season at ALHS:( I've made so many memories throughout it all. There's been ups and downs but I still love it.
 My first year it was pretty nerve racking at tryouts. I was going out for the position as a right outside midfielder. This is probably the worst (but best for me) position to have because the whole time you're constantly running up and down the field. I made the team and actually started the whole year! We actually won our first ever girls soccer SWC title. It was really cool being a part of that! Since then I'd say we have had success, just not as much as we've wanted.
 Sophomore year was okay and we had a pretty good-average season with about the same number of wins as losses. I really enjoyed sophomore year because I was just beginning to be pulled up onto varsity to get some playing time. It was pretty intimidating but it definitely prepared me for this year.

 This past summer there was more drama going down then I'd ever expect. Between our coach Kiko stepping down, tryouts, and just stupid talking, I didn't know how we would do this year. Stepping on the field for our first game I felt confident and just knew we were going to have a great season, despite our whole summer drama crap.

 Yeah so our season didn't really turn out how we all hoped it would. Our record ended up being 2-10-5....yeah not so good. I think that it was really because we lost 12 seniors the year before and had to rebuild it. We had a lot of underclassmen trying to fill the shoes of the previous seniors. Even though our record wasn't too good I still did have fun! Between team dinners, team bonding, and team sleepovers, it made up for the crap season!

 I'm really looking forward to next year, even though it will sadly be my last:( I hope we have a much improved winning season with positive outlooks! .....and no drama...but that would never happen.
