The North Mason High School girls' soccer team
second day of practice on Tuesday, Aug. 23.
By EMILY HANSON
In their second year with their current coaching staff,
the North Mason High School girls' soccer team is hoping
to build on the improvement they made last year.
"The team struggled last year," head coach Dustyn
Brim said. "It's not a very strong program and a lot of
girls don't have as big a depth as our opponents do. We
drastically improved last season though and hopefully
we can continue that."
So far this season, 32 girls have turned out with about
60 percent of last year's team returning. There are four
seniors returning from last season and two of them, Ma-
rissa Hamilton and Jessica Jeu, are helping to lead the
team.
"So far, we've seen pretty good stuff," Jeu said. "This
week is the 'week of determination' to see who can make
it and who can't."
Hamilton said there are a lot of new faces on the team
this season, not all of them freshmen, and that she thinks
that will help the program.
"Everybody's working really hard," Hamilton added.
Brim said he and assistant coach, Matt Friesen, are
working to build on last year's team.
"Since Matt and I were new last year, the girls didn't
have very good shape on the field and so we're working
on getting all 11 on the field playing together," Brim said.
"I hope we surprise some people and that we can sneak
some results in."

As another successful summer of youth soccer comes to an
end, we want to express our appreciation to all those
in the community who make it possible for local youth to
participate in a fun, positive summer activity.
We appreciate the opportunity to be a sponsor of youth soccer
