Team Banquet

Nearly a month after their final game, the 2017 Holly Bronchos girls soccer program held their end of the year banquet at Bakers of Milford. After dinner, the JV team was honored first, followed by the varsity program. Samantha was mentioned by the JV coach in his speech for her work with the team and specifically the goalkeepers, as she created a program to work with them and stayed after practice with them when needed. When it came time for the varsity part of the evening, the girls took turns introducing each other to those in attendance. When Sam was announced, she was presented with her varsity letter as well as the award for "Most Dedicated". She was also named a Flint Metro League "Player to Watch" for 2018, thanks in part to leading the team in steals despite missing four games due to her fractured wrist. She also finished third on the team in passes per game, fourth in corner kicks taken, fifth in shots on goal, and fifth in assists for the season. The captains handed out "Paper Plate Awards", and Sam was presented with the "Box of Chocolates" award, because Sam was sweet and full of herself!
