Sebring girls soccer 'building for two
years'
SEBRING
- Sebring girls soccer coach Steve Ashley insists that he's not apprehensive
about trotting out four, five, maybe even six newcomers this season.
That should tell you a little something about this freshmen class.
"I've been at this for 24 years, and I've been on all sides of it," Ashley
said earlier this week. "We're really building for two years. We're starting
a lot of the younger players, so it's going to take them a little bit of
time to figure it out."
Ashley and the rest of the Blue Streaks weren't afforded that luxury this
season, however. They began Class 5A-District 5 play Tuesday at Lake Wales,
which figures to contend for the one of the coveted top two spots in the
district.
Even Ashley concedes: "There are a lot of question marks."
Chief among them: the freshmen.
Midfielder Hannah Schroeder is expected to play big minutes for Sebring this
season, but even she is an unknown commodity. She has played YMCA ball for
the past seven years, on a team coached by her dad and grandpa.
Varsity will provide an entirely new set of challenges, but Schroeder said
she is unfazed.
