Olympic Tan 422 N.1st Shelton 01 426-6565 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." ~ournal photo by Emil~ members practice kicking drills during their 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.
