2009 Hillcrest Soccer Season

Keith Freeman — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 06:42:06 +0000

The Hillcrest Soccer Season has started. The Varsity started their season by playing the Waynesville Tigers at Waynesville. The team is lead by co-captains Michael Freeman, Radu Mariuta, and Ricky Price. Also returning are seniors Joshua Fletcher and Jonathon Bridwell. They have been joined by the returning juniors and sophmores and a class of freshman that bring some successes of their own. We are looking forward to an exciting season. This season will be the season that most of our games are away but come out and support the team to as many games as you can. Look for updates to continue.
Go Hornets!!!!!

2008 Season Comes to a Close

btsportzmom — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 13:14:39 +0000

In a dramatic finish – true to the exciting fashion of the 2008 Hornets season, the Hornets went down swinging late in the 2nd half in their loss to Neosho 4-3, in District play Monday evening. Having tied the score 3-3, with less than 5 minutes left, both teams battled hard, end to end. A call in the box as Mitch dove for the ball gave the Wildcats a PK and the game-ending goal. Closing a chapter on a wonderful season.

The Hornets wrap up a record-setting season with 9 wins, 14 losses. There are 10 seniors who will be sorely missed, next season and have now handed over that responsibility to carry on, to the next in line. Success is measured by more than wins and losses. There are many things learned both on and off the field that you will carry with you forever. There are memories made this season that will last a lifetime. The pride you have shown in building your team, and the things you have accomplished truly took TEAMWORK. Thanks to every one of you!

Well done on the season boys – WELL DONE!
