A very young Livingston Academy Lady Wildcats soccer team will be called upon to defend their District 7A/AA championship in the 2007 season beginning this week, and Coach Ethan King isn’t worried about their youth.
“We’re young, but we’ve got a lot of talent,” he said.
What has worried him is a couple of unfortunate injuries before the season had begun.
“We’ve had a bit of bad luck,” he said. “Our second-leading scorer has had ACL reconstruction, and last year’s goalee had surgery on her hand in the off-season, so she’s going to be playing in the field.
“We’re having to do some changes, but I think we’re going to be okay. A lot of young freshmen came up who are doing really well. And we have a lot of players who did well last year.
“We’re having to fill gaps from our seniors who graduated.”
Last year’s leading scorer, sophomore Heather Marshall, is returning, and the team has welcomed a transfer from Texas, Lauren Robinson, the team’s only senior, into the offense. With the loss of junior Devin Thompson for the season, Coach King may also rely on firepower from a freshman – Kathryn Nigro.
The Tennessean listed Kathryn Nigro as one of the top midfielders in the mid-state, noting that she was invited to the National Olympic Development Program for her age group.
“She is an offensive threat,” Coach King said.
On defense, the team lost two fullbacks to graduation, and the injury to junior goalee Brianna Colson has forced some changes. Freshman Alaura Miranda will be the regular goalkeeper, and Robinson may see some play guarding the goal.
Colson will be depended on to anchor the defense, according to Coach King, who will also rely on sophomores Allyssa Thompson, Savannah Vaughn, and Kelsi Sotis for strong defensive play.
With Robinson the team’s only senior, the leadership will also fall to the juniors – Colson, Maria Hernandez, Jada Jackson, Amanda Lee, SarahJane Maynord, McKenzie McConaha, Megan Winton, and injured teammate Devin Thompson.
“We’ve got a good bunch of juniors,” Coach King said.
Sophomore players are the Fantastic Four of Marshall, Sotis, Allyssa Thompson, and Savannah Vaughn.
“Heather is our leading scorer, and Vaughn, Sotis, and Thompson really help us out on the defensive end,” Coach King said.
He expects many of the freshmen to compete for starting spots and playing time. His freshman class is made up of Kathryn Nigro, Mary Green, Alaura Miranda, Hillary Ramsey, Kara Vaughn, and Brittany White.
“Several of them are going to help us,” Coach King said.
This year’s talented squad will attempt to improve on last year’s accomplishments of the district title, runner-up in Region 4A/AA, and sectional play. To get there, the Lady Cats will first have to triumph once more in District 7A-AA.
Of the district, Coach King said, “York will probably be the toughest competition, and Smith County has come a long way.”
He also said DeKalb County could be competitive.
To begin regular season play, Livingston Academy was scheduled to host Wilson Central on Monday, Aug. 20. The Lady Cats will next head to the Bearden Invitational where they will take on Maryville at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 23, Catholic at noon Saturday, Aug. 25, York Institute at 6 p.m. that same day, and Pigeon Forge at 1 p.m. the following day. The Lady Cats will then travel to Gainesboro on Tuesday, Aug. 28 to take on the Jackson County Lady Blue Devils in a district contest set to begin at 5:30 p.m.
