ONE LAST HUG. Coach Gretchen Kloes hugs the seniors from the varsity team after their victory against New Caney High School on March 17, 2023. Having so many seniors who contributed to the program for as long as they have, it was a special night for them having their families there celebrating their success. Because of their leadership and because they wanted to send them out with a positive positive note and theyre the first team to play six a soccer here at Caney Creek and that comes with pressure. And that comes with expectations and Kloes thought they handled themselves really well, Weve actually never have such a good game, it was 1-1 until the very end and then managed to score with three minutes left to take the win and when you have that kind of emotional game, youre emotional because of that, Kloes said. She experienced something new after the game from any other year, After a game they all kind of came together and wanted to like each person talk and say something about like, were going to miss this and were going to and that hasnt happened before and I think they really understand like what it means to be a team and what it means to be a family and so it was it was very emotional for everybody. There were lots of tears.

CLASHED. Senior Lilian Sanchez runs with an opponent from Conroe High School at Buddy Moorhead Stadium. The varsity team knew that the second round going against Conroe was going to be a challenge since they were gonna go hard towards them. Sanchez was physically and mentally prepared, she was motivated in the first half of the game, and she knew they had a chance to win the game. Sanchez mentions that the second half of the game became more intense, “That made part of the team commit some errors, but overall the team prevented them from shooting at our goal,” Sanchez said. At the game, she noticed her sister crying and went to comfort her, “I told her that everything was okay, that’s soccer not everything can be won, even from what we saw from the whole game, the marker doesn’t say it all. It was a good game, but it wasn’t our day.

MAKING A PASS. Brittany Castellanos [11] communicates to her teammate in order to make a pass during tryouts on Wednesday.
