Coshocton Christian School organizes first soccer team
By Josie Sellers For The Beacon
Micah Flinner is proud to be part of the Coshocton Christian School ’ s first junior high soccer team .
“ I love soccer ,” the fifthgrader at CCS said . “ I ’ ve played for several years now and thought it would be fun to be on a school soccer team .”
The new team is coached by Brady and Amanda Hamilton .
“ There are several families at the school involved with SOCCA , but there ’ s not much for the kids after fifth and sixth grade ,” Amanda Hamilton said . “ Some parents brought up the idea of starting a school team , and here we are .”
The team includes students in fifth grade through ninth grade and is open to both boys and girls .
“ I really like soccer and
being part of a Christian team ,” said fifth-grader Elsee Mencer , who is the only girl on the team this year . The group played in its first tournament and came
home with third place and a Christian Character Award .

The Coshocton Christian School ’ s first junior high soccer team paused from practicing at Lake Park to take a picture .
“ We played pretty well , but our defense needs a little work ,” sixth-grader Flint Hamilton said .
His goal for the rest of the season is to score . His brother Fisher , who is in the fifth grade , has the same
goal . Ninth-grader Grier Johnson said he would like to collect 15 goals . Mencer hopes more girls get interested in joining the team .
“ I want us to have a good season , no one get hurt and for us to have a fun time playing soccer ,”
Flinner said .
Ninth-grader Owen Wetzel and fifth-grader Austin Perrenoud hope the team expands next year .
“ I ’ d like the team to grow so we can play varsity ,” Wetzel said .
“ I want us to have a good season , no one get hurt and for us to have a fun time playing soccer .”

Their schedule for the rest of this year is still uncertain , but they are all thankful for the chance to play together .
“ I ’ m glad we are able to have a team and play with friends ,” sixth-grader Achilles Leach said .
