See what the players and coach from Henry Clay High School had to say about the upcoming 2018 girls’ soccer season.
Jared Peck, Real-Time Sports Reporter for the Lexington Herald-Leader and co-founder of SoccerintheBluegrass.com, visited all nine Lexington high schools and spoke with coaches and players about the upcoming season. Over the next several days, SITB will release videos from the interviews used for the Herald-Leader’s preseason preview: “Girls’ soccer: This season’s top teams, biggest games and best players.”
Excerpted from Kentucky.com. Read the full story at the link above.
Coach: Mebit Aragaw (13th season).
Last season, 42nd District champion: 17-3-0 (68 GF/16 GA), lost 2-0 in 11th semis to Tates Creek.
Outlook: The Blue Devils lost a ton of offense last year but retain most of their defense. “Even though we don’t have the speed like last year, we’ve got a lot of good players who can carry us,” Aragaw said.
SITB impression: The Blue Devils will need to figure out who will score goals for them this season, but look solid in the back. Nine seniors give this team the experience to do well.
Player’s take: Senior midfielder Annie Cox — “We’re going to have our opportunities for sure … We’re going to be able to work the ball really well together through the middle and get the attack started.”
