From Coach Brent Sowell “I am extremely proud of this group of girls and all that they have accomplished. They have truly lived up to our motto ‘measure up.’ We knew this team had potential, and we challenged them to measure up to their potential and to get 1% better every day. The team took up that challenge and day by day on the field and in the weight room they measured up to their potential and exceeded expectations. This is a special group of young ladies, and I am very proud to be their coach.”
Congratulations to the Marbury Girls Varsity Soccer Team on an amazing season and good luck in the playoffs!
