Coosa girls clinch winning soccer season
Coosa Girls 4, Cedartown 0

News-Tribune Staff Reports by David Dawson
The Coosa girls had
several reasons to celebrate on Monday afternoon — and not even the nasty
weather could ruin their excitement. With a 4-1 win over Cedartown, the Lady
Eagles improved to 7-5-1 and clinched their first winning season since
1999. Coosa’s
Mayra Hernandez scored all four goals and broke the school’s single-season
scoring record to punctuate the victory on Senior Day for the Lady
Eagles. “It was an all-around perfect
day for us,” said Coosa second-year coach
Erick Hopper. “This was a really big
step for the program. (Playing in) the cold weather and the sleet was definitely worth it today. I’m really proud of these
girls.” Hopper said he challenged his team early in the season to set a new
standard at Coosa — and the team delivered. “During
a team meeting, I asked them how they wanted to be remembered,” he said. “I told them they could either be known as
just another losing team, or they could be the team that turned the program
around. And they’ve worked their butts off this season to (become the
latter).” Hernandez added to the moment by delivering her record-breaking
performance. She now has 21 goals on the season. “It’s a great accomplishment,” said Hopper,
“and it just made today all the more memorable for us.” Hernandez scored the
lone goal of the first half, and added three more in the final 40
minutes. Her first and fourth goals
were both unassisted. Norie Cescutti
and Shelby Boyd had assists on the other two goals. Coosa
keeper Jeanie Paige Doegg had six saves.

lead in the second half to make it 2-0. The resilient Lady Eagles battled
back to make a game of it when Norie Cescutti scored off an assist by Alejandra Cardenas. A
strong defensive effort led by goal keeper Jeanie Paige Doegg
kept the lady eagles in the game, but they eventually fell short in a 3-1
loss. Coosa is (6-5-1) on the season and
will host Cedartown next.

Flexing their
defensive muscle for the third straight match, the Lady Tigers registered a 3-0
win over Coosa on Monday in a 7-AA soccer
contest at the Eagles’ field. Darlington’s defense was able to shut down
Coosa’s explosive sister tandem of Mayra and Maria Hernandez, who had
previously been rolling up goals in bunches. (Mayra,
a junior, has 17 on the season.) Overall, Coosa
finished with just a handful of shots on goal, but the Lady Eagles’ defense
played well enough to keep the match tight. “In terms of assessing this
match, I’d have to give us mixed reviews,” said Coosa
second-year coach Erick Hopper. “I felt like we played fairly decent, but we
got out-hustled and that bothers me. Darlington
beat us to most of the loose balls.” For Coosa,
keeper Jeanie Paige Doegg recorded 12 saves. Skylar Anderson
also spent time in goal, and had two saves for the Lady Eagles. Johna Collette highlighted Coosa’s defensive effort by
shadowing Darlington’s Anna Shea throughout
the afternoon. Ieshia Alexander and Mayra Hernandez
also contributed on the defensive end. “I felt like those three players
really stepped up for us today,” said Hopper.
