The original plan was to have the boys and girl’s soccer teams celebrate senior night on separate nights, but Mother Nature had other plans.

“I think it was pretty cool, but at the same it was sad, because it is going to be the last time I step on that field as a member of the Grant County boys soccer team,” Brian Chapman said.

After winning the Northern Kentucky Athletic Conference tournament for the second straight season, Grant County High School junior Sarah Kellam pushed that momentum to a four-stroke win at the 8th Region Golf Tournament at Twin Oaks in Covington Sept. 28.

Kellam said that at the beginning of the season she was worried about the team’s youth, but with the team missing the cut by just eight strokes at the regional tournament, tthose worries only disappeared.

Grant County High School senior soccer player Terry McDaniel doesn’t have the height or build of many soccer players, but one thing he has is heart.

The effort he puts out in the games is something that Braves soccer coach David Schmitt would like to transfer to the rest of the team.

“It’s really satisfying and I wish I could bottle that energy and fire of Terry and give that to everyone else,” he said.
