A Young Roster Eyes the Future
The program emerged from last season’s Class 1 final four appearance with a fourth‑place finish, marking the second final four run in three years. Eleven seniors from that squad have moved on, leaving a roster that is both youthful and hungry for success.
Among the returning veterans, Ross Brothers earned honorable‑mention all‑state honors and will anchor the midfield, while Evan Sherrer brings three years of program experience and a vision for the game. Defender Zane Marlin, the only returning varsity defender, is expected to provide stability at the back.
New faces are set to make an impact. Jaxon Prebble, who saw limited varsity time a year ago, has returned with noticeable improvement, and freshman Ramsey Jones will see increased minutes as a forward. Sophomore Owen Metscher, a returning starter, will lead the attack alongside all‑state center midfielder Kayden Hendrix, while Sean Dorritie reenters the goal after a year away.
Coach Aaron Thier emphasizes a defensive mindset, possession‑based play and the development of trust among teammates. His focus on tactical understanding aims to translate the squad’s unity into a competitive edge as the schedule unfolds.
The season opens on September 1 against Crocker, a match that will set the tone for a campaign centered on contending for a district championship.
