Lions win big during Girls Soccer senior night

Crowd cheering on the senior girls.

Friday May 1 was the Girls Soccer senior night against Bear Creek.  The atmosphere was electric, the crowd calling out the names of the seniors every time the girls came near the ball.  

The first goal was scored 20 minutes into the game was scored by senior Caroline May, followed quickly by a goal scored by freshman Lydia Francis.  In the last 5 minutes of the period, senior Payton Ballard added two more points to the LHS score, bringing the final score of the first period to 4-0.

During halftime, the seniors were honored by their coaches and fellow teammates.  They walked down the field with their families before receiving baskets with various small trinkets and a golden soccer ball signed by their peers.  Seniors included May, Ballard, Ava Martin, Elaf Alsaaid, Rebecca Ellis, and Maddy Roth.  Many of these seniors had been playing with the Lions since their freshman seasons, with more of them having experience since they were really young.

The second period maintained the same score as the first, resulting in a great game and a great win.  It was the best possible game to honor these seniors.
