Fall 2007: THE BREAKFAST CLUB
ALI FENTER - SHADLE PARK
LAUREN LAYTON - MEAD HIGH SCHOOL
MIKAYLA ANDERSON - MEAD HIGH SCHOOL

3 players, a dog, a cup of coffee and 7 weeks of early morning training. On the request of a single player Kevin agreed to get up in the wee hours of the morning to meet at a park by 6am to do some technical work on Tuesdays and Thursdays before school this past fall. Soon another joined, followed by another. This was in addition to their High School Girls Soccer training that went on right after school. While it wasn’t always easy to get up that early, the results were good and the time together fun. Several others came out to give it a go, but only these three made it on a regular basis. I was impressed that players of this age wanted to get up that early during the school year, it certainly was not my idea!

Mikayla, a freshman, started every game for the Mead Panters. Lauren Layton, a junior, was an All-GSL Selection and Ali was GSL Defensive MVP as well as First Team All-State. SSA would like to congratulate these three girls on their seasons.
