Jenna ScogginsCLEVELAND, Tenn. – Since cloning wasn’t an option, Cleveland High School girls’ soccer coach Andy Byrd had to try to figure out a way to maximize the impact of Jenna Scoggins in her final year with the program.
He’s done a good job using her everywhere possible.
The four-year starter at goalkeeper for the Lady Blue Raiders has spent almost equal time out in the field for Cleveland this season, in part because of a need for scoring due to teammates’ injuries and also because of the emergence of freshman Isabel Tellez, who is able to spell Scoggins in goal.
As a result, Scoggins is the team’s leading scorer with five goals for the Lady Raiders entering this weekend’s Cleveland Soccer Classic. The team is currently 4-5-2 after tying Grace Christian and dropping matches to sixth-ranked Maryville and Oakland during the tournament.
Maryville was the winner of the event, with a total of 18 points. Teams were awarded six points for a win, three for a tie and one for a loss.
