Making it far in most regional competitions over the eight years the school has been open, it is no surprise that Steinbrenner’s soccer teams holds a ton of talent. The girl’s soccer team alone has three district championships and a State championship back in ’09. Among the talented athletes is senior Claire Morrison, who is doing well this season, becoming an important asset of the team.
Morrison’s athletic career contains softball, cross country, track and a bit of volleyball but her home is with soccer. She started playing soccer because of her brother and following in his footsteps. Her brother played soccer when she was younger and she thought it looked fun.
“I used to do everything my brother did, so I did it,” said Morrison.
As Morrison’s last season goes underway, she plans to do better than the team performed last year and make it past districts. With the team being undefeated right now (5-0) the team seems to be on track with her goal. The first game of this season also holds one of her favorite memories.
“I think it was when we won 9-1 against Strawberry Crest. Mia [Brantley] hit a corner and I headed it and it was honestly my most favorite thing to happen because Mia and I are besties,” said Morrison.
She will be missed as she trades her blue and gold, for white and green when she becomes a Hatter and plays Division I soccer for Stetson University in DeLand, FL.
