Encouraging start for Silver Creek

You may remember our story last week on Silver Creek and its brand new soccer program. Well, the boys and girls were in action Saturday for the first time against Providence's JV sides and performed out of their skins.
The girls may have narrowly gone down 3-2 - with their first ever goals scored by junior Katie Tharp and senior Meghan Hall - but coach Andrew Smith said they felt very good about the way they played.
"We were running our offense very well and working on staying in positions and compressing the field on defense," he said.
The girls played their second game last night at North Harrison and will play their first game at home against Salem on September 6.
The boys, meanwhile, kept the Pioneers to a 3-0 scoreline and the Dragons play their first home game tonight against Christian Academy (5.30 p.m.)

I coached against Silver Creek in their 1st EVER Girl's Soccer game. We won the game, but gave Silver Creek their FIRST ever goal. I was glad to be a part of it, and will say that Silver Creek will be a force to reckon with in the years ahead. They have a tremendous base of players coming up and I can see them being a very tough out for sectional and regional play in 3-4 years from now.
Best wishes to their GIRL's Soccer program
