CHAMPION GIRLS SOCCER COACH’S CORNER (EP 1) WITH EMILY METHENY

/in /by

WARREN OH- Last season was a historic one for the girls soccer program at Champion. The Flashes not only finished the regular season undefeated, but made the deepest run their program had ever made in the tournament surging all the way to the regional finals.  While that team had a big senior core that the Flashes will surely miss, they also had a big freshman class that is returning together for what they hope is a long successful career.  Champion still has plenty of weapons on the pitch to watch out for.  They’ll need all of those weapons this season as they’ll be the ones with the target on their back.  Champion opens the season on August 16th hosting Warren JFK as part of a boys/girls double header.  The girls have the primetime slot with a 7:00 start time.

Champion head coach Emily Metheny was able to take the time to talk to YSN’s Anthony Hartwig to preview the season.  They talk about the youth coming back to the team this season, the four captains that are already stepping up as leaders, and much more. Check out Episode 1 of Coach’s Corner with Emily Metheny only on YSN!

NO DOUBT ABOUT NADAUD

Warren OH- Champion has had a remarkable season being 21-0 after the win in the regional semifinals over Norwayne. It’s easy to look at the success of the flashes and put it on the offense, but the defense has been absolutely fantastic and that unit is led by senior captain Mia Naduad.

Naduad has had to battle adversity this year being a forward her entire career, but with seniors leaving, the team needed help on the defensive end and Naduad stepped up. It may be uncomfortable to learn a new position especially in one year but Mia has not missed a beat. Shutting down multiple schools only allowing 15 goals all year! Naduad has stepped into not only a much needed role on the defensive end, but also as a leader and voice for this flashes team.

In talking to Mia she states “the success of this team has been because of the coaches teaching us something new everyday, and the great group of young players able to step up”. The flashes hope to keep their momentum and play in the regional finals on Saturday November 4th against Akron Manchester.
