A huge spring sport that takes place here at Franklin High School is Girls’ Soccer. Recently, I got the chance to connect with one of the captains of our soccer team through email, Morgan Peters. I had a few questions for her about the soccer team and what the highlights of their season so far. Here are her responses!
Q:What have been some of the highlights of the soccer season so far?
Morgan: The girls’ soccer team is off to their best start in program history. A little over a month into the season, the girls’ soccer team has a record of 12-1-1 and are ranked #9 in the state for the first time ever. They have had 2 big wins against Kenosha Tremper and Bradford this season. The team is in the driver’s seat to win their first-ever conference championship.
Q: What are some things that you enjoy about soccer?
Morgan: I enjoy playing soccer because it is great to be a part of a team. Everyone is so close and you meet people you probably would never have talked to before. It is a lot of fun and you feel a great sense of unity.
Q:What position do you play?
Morgan: I play outside mid.
Q: Why do you play soccer?
Morgan: I play soccer because I love the sport. I have been playing soccer since I was 5 years old and it has always brought so much joy into my life. With playing in high school, you also get to play with people who are different ages. It is a great way to bring people together and I have really enjoyed it.
Thank you to Morgan Peters for the interview, and another special thanks to Megan Lacina for connecting me with her, much appreciated. Please come out and support the girls in their last regular season home game and senior night on Tuesday, May 21st. The team hopes to finish undefeated in conference and move up in the state rankings.
