Will the Lady Lancers Rise?

It has been a tough start of the season for the Norton Girls Varsity Soccer Team. The team has put in a lot of hard work through the season and pre-season. The real question is when is all of their hard work going to pay off?

The Lancers graduated eleven Seniors last year which had a great impact on the team selection for the 2014 season. Currently there are seven seniors participating on the Varsity Soccer Team, about four of them are starters. It is safe to say that the Lady Lancers have a very inexperienced roster. Many of the underclassmen have the skill level, its just a matter of gelling together as a team. 

The Tri-Valley League is one of the toughest High School leagues in the area. The Lancers faced two of the toughest teams, Medway and Medfield, in the first two matches.  The girls have played extremely well against their opponents, its just a matter of getting the ball in the back of the net. It also makes it hard when some of their strongest players are facing injuries early in the season. The girls and coach are determined to rise turn things around.

The Lady Lancers have been working hard for what they want which is making it to the State Tournament. The Coach of the Lancers, Everette Clark, refers to his favorite saying- "What the mind believes, the body achieves" and he believes just that. He is keeping his faith in his girls and knows that they will rise and they will persevere. It is still early in the season for the Lancers and it is about time that their extremely hard work pays off.
