Coosa High School in Rome,
Georgia, has the oldest Soccer Team in the Floyd County
School System. The Boys
(Coed at the time) team was established in 1989 by head coach, Randy Vice...
The Girl's team under the leadership of Roger Dewey, (1994,1995),
Randy Vice, (1996, 97) Cindy Moore, (98) qualified for post-season play the
first five seasons of their existence . Coach Josh Agan was Girls Head Coach
for 3 years. The boy’s team, led by Randy Vice for 18 years, made several
region playoff tournaments and one state tournament appearance. Coach Vice
retook the helm of the Girls team in 2004 as well as the Boy's Team. The
Current head coach of the Lady Eagles team is Erick Hopper. Hopper and the
Lady Eagles posted a 7-6-1 record last year to complete the first winning season
for the girls since 1999.
Coosa Girls Excited about 2010 Season
Fresh off their first winning season since 1999, the Coosa Lady Eagles soccer team is looking to make it
back to back winning seasons. Five Seniors consisting of Mayra Hernandez, Isis Arroyo, Shelby Boyd, Bekah
Young, and Johna Collette plan on leading the way
for a big group of underclassmen. The group of seniors will also get help
from sophomore sensation Maria Hernandez, who was second on the team in
scoring and assist last season. Another Sophomore, Chelsea Ledford, will try
to make a transition from softball to soccer in hopes of giving the lady
eagles some consistency in goal this year. Third year coach, Erick Hopper,
believes his team can improve off last year’s success and be even better. “I
have seen so much improvement since my first year. The girl’s have really
bought in to what we are doing and have worked hard to get better every
year”. The Lady Eagles will open up the 2010 season on the road against
Cedartown on February 23rd.
Lady Eagles lose
Heartbreaking opener
The lady eagles lost their season opener on a cold
Tuesday night at Sonoraville. The eagles started
off strong scoring in the 9th minute off a penalty kick. Sophomore
Maria Hernandez stepped up and sank it to give the Coosa
a 1-0 lead. A determined defense and outstanding play by first year goalie
Chelsea Ledford would allow that lead would hold up all the way until ten
minutes left in the game when a defensive breakdown left the net open and Sonoraville capitalized. After a scoreless ten minutes,
the game went into overtime. It was a defensive struggle throughout overtime
with both teams stepping up. The lady eagles went to penalty kicks for only
the second time in the past three years. Unfortunately, the lady eagles were
stopped on all five attempts and lost 2-0 in the penalty kicks session giving
Sonoraville the win. This makes the second year in
a row that Coosa has lost to Sonoraville in overtime.
Although the team loss, Coach Hopper was really proud of the way his
team battled; “I was really impressed with the toughness the girls played
with. Chelsea
played an outstanding game in goal and made some crucial saves down the
stretch. These ladies work hard and I know they will be ready to bounce back
at Rockmart.” The Lady Eagles (0-1) will travel to Rockmart on Friday.
