With her skill and passionate approach, Kaley Swann has helped lead the Hixson soccer team to District 6-A/AA supremacy this season.
Hixson’s Samantha Green is one of the area’s top soccer scorers with 19 goals in 11 games.Win or lose so far this season, the Hixson girls’ soccer team has learned one thing: They can be noisy.
To their credit, however, they’ve been doing some winning.
The Lady Wildcats ran roughshod through District 6-A/AA, earning the top seed heading into the district tournament with a spotless 5-0 record. They still have a league match against Howard, as well as matches with the Chattanooga Patriots, Marion County and Sweetwater, but their 5-4-2 overall record has been sparked by the play of senior forward/midfielder Kaley Swann and sophomore forward Samantha Green.
Both said the players felt they had the chance to be good, but performances against some area private schools really sparked the expectations.
“We’ve been having a pretty good year,” Swann said. “We worked so hard in the summer, and it’s shown. We know we can do well. We’ve had our ups and downs, but there were times his year where I was like, ‘Hey, we can do this.'”
