RYAN RUNS INTO THE BIG STAGE

 By CJ Bako

WARREN- OH, JFK has seemed to have found a diamond in the rough with freshman Andrea Ryan. Ryan in her first year has tallied an astonishing 53 goals with 3 assists! Scoring 53 goals in a season is an incredible mark, but doing it as a freshman is unheard of. Ryan has made an immediate impact as the eagles last year finished the season 4-9, in Ryan’s first season she has led her team to a league title and a first round bye in the playoffs as JFK finishes 12-3-1.

 The eagles will play their first playoff game Wednesday 10/18 against Cardinal Mooney. Ryan states “This game will be tough, a lot of girls on Mooney I’ve played with in club soccer my whole life”. It definitely will be a good matchup and one we’ll be keeping an eye on!
