  • Essay / Varsity Girls Soccer (Worland vs. Powell) - 1557

    What seemed like a very long and difficult match, the Worland High School Varsity Girls managed to win the match against Powell. Still the No. 3A seed in the state of Wyoming, Worland struggled following his loss to Lander last year at state football in Jackson, Wyoming. Worland's very first game of the season this year in 2014 was against Jackson. The defending state champions were demolished by the Warriors, and Jackson didn't score a single goal either. This year, the majority of the soccer players are very young, only three seniors are on the team this year. As observed on April 4, 2014, the Warriors faced a stronger team in their division, Powell. Not only does Powell have bigger, stronger and faster girls, but they also started to worry the Warriors crowd after firing two shots into the goalie's net. With the score 2-2, the situation was becoming more and more intense in the crowd. There were only about 10 minutes left in the game and, like last year at State, Worland didn't want to go to overtime because if there wasn't a goal after overtime it would result in a penalty shootout. As horrible as it was to have that kind of pressure with about 6 minutes left in the game, a goal was finally scored for the Warriors! The score was now 3-2 and Powell was not happy. While Powell's head coach was jumping up and down saying this game motivated his girls. However, Worland fought back and, as close as it was, Worland finished the match with a victory. A review of the game was indeed a struggle to write; however, Anna Hepp will give me insight from her perspective on playing with another senior, Yesie Herrera. Sitting next to me, I asked Anna Hep...... middle of paper ...... same page, they all know what they are capable of. More than anything, what is important in all sports in the world is to have a family relationship. Not only is it difficult to be alone, but with the help of others, things start to become more visible.
