Girls soccer didn’t end the year the way the team wanted, falling 0-7 Oct. 28 at league-rival Cascade.
The Huskies (0-10, 1-14) ended their season on an 11-game losing streak, scoring no goals in 10 of those contests, and being mercy-ruled in four of them.
Head Coach Ramiro Santana highlighted the team’s enhanced play: “The whole team played well this week, especially Miu Simmons, Khloe Sautel, Ziarra [Duncan], Khloe Wood, and Nakia Merino-Jaurez.”
The Huskies will suffer a blow with the loss of both team captain Anabelle Morris and Danielle Robertson due to graduation this year, but Santana remains confident his team will be able to improve: “This group of girls, they are fighters, they never give up.
“They have gotten much better. They are a very young team. This league is very tough and very competitive. We’ll look to improve next season.”
This likely will be Sweet Home’s last year competing in 4A, as the OSAA is considering moving the school to 3A, which would move Sweet Home out of an absolute gauntlet of a league (one they’re on a 24-game losing streak in), to competitions that may be more their speed.
“We will look to do more work during the summer to get much better,” Santana stated.
