Teams are very fortunate when they get the chance to have ten seniors on their team. But it’s even more fortunate to have a team that starts all ten players. The GRC boys’ soccer team is one of those teams. The Cards are led behind senior captains Hunter Caudill and Houston Goodman who have some high expectations.

“I think we’re all looking to state not just regionals this year,” says Goodman.

The team is having one of the best seasons they’ve had in the past few years behind the scoring of Senior Clayton Parks who is in the top 20 in the state for goals scored.

“I just try to play hard every game and help the team out by scoring because that’s my job,” says Parks.

The boys have been playing with each other and even against each other over their years playing soccer. This has made the boys embrace that they are a “family”.

“This year I think that the team is more of a family than every other year,” says Senior Josh Bailey. “We all know each other and have grown together.”

The Cards look to reach their goals of making it to state this year by working and trying to better themselves every practice and game.

“I’m looking for everyone to improve individually and give some heart and effort not just come out to play but to win,” says Goodman.

The Cards look to reach their goals heading into the district tournament the week of 10/9 with the #2 seed after going 2-1 in district play. But what continues to hold this team together is the fact they are a family.

“Family on and off the field,” says Parks.
