Girls soccer takes home all-district awards for unfinished season

“Soccer to me means just getting to work hard on a field, playing the sport you love with the people you love. I felt pretty excited when I heard, especially since my playing time decreased significantly over the season.  But the awards signify talent; while we have the most hardworking program in the district, not everyone got awards. We go to practice everyday to get better and go to leadership...

“Honestly, winning the award just meant to me that all my hard work had paid off. I never really imagined playing that much this season or winning this award, so this was a year of shockers. I was just working as hard as I could in practice and in the club everyday, as well as learning from more experienced people on the team, some of which became like mentors. It was a culmination of my efforts...

“When I heard I had won a district award I was certainly not expecting it because I had just stepped into a starting role this year. I feel very grateful and honored to receive an award and be noticed by the other coaches in my district. I’ve been playing soccer my whole life and to see that my hard work has paid off it means everything. I couldn’t be happier about how this year has played out fo...

“I was actually shocked when I heard, it wasn’t really something I was expecting.  It was very rewarding for all my hard work this season and made me want to work harder. Having not been in the soccer period in the beginning of the year, when I came back to play, I knew I had to work harder than everyone to get my spot back and really push myself to do the best. For it being my first year on v...

“Soccer means the absolute world to me. I have loved it my entire life, and I am so thankful for these past three years in this program. The talent in this district is so high and for me to be chosen by the other coaches as one of the top players means a lot to me. I felt very proud of myself and my team when I heard about, not just my district award, but my teammates’ awards. I wouldn’t say this w...

Peek did not respond to an interview request.

“To me, soccer means more than just a game. I see it as a way of life, where all sorts of emotion can be seen through it - a way to connect with people and share that passion for the game together. I would say being awarded 1st team All-District is an honor since our district is one of the toughest districts in the state, and I won it among all the talented girls in our district. I honestly didn�...

“Winning a district award made me feel acknowledged for the hard work I’ve put in my whole life of training competitively for soccer. This was a goal for me, but it doesn’t represent the culmination of my efforts I’ve put in over the years because the most rewarding thing to me is how in shape I am and how I’ve prepared myself for college soccer. The determination and work ethic I’ve gained ov...

Martin did not respond to an interview request.

“[Winning the award] meant I worked hard. Getting an award was one of my goals. I got 1st team All-District last year but was not expecting the utility player of the year. I’ve liked playing the sport and playing with my friends who are my teammates.”

“Working so hard to prove myself on the field really paid off in the end because at the end of the season, not only did I feel [Coppell coach Ryan Dunlevy] recognizes my hard work but also the other coaches. It has always been a goal of mine to make this award coming in. I believe I have always had a hardworking personality, and for me to receive this is just an honor. I was not expecting Midfielder ...

“It’s always a big honor to be recognized in any way, but it’s just nice to know others see all the work that goes into every game. I had an expectation for myself to work hard no matter what, it’s really just a nice bonus to get rewarded. Honestly, soccer means everything to me. It's been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I can’t imagine doing anything else and I’m going t...
