Wednesday, July 22, 2009 * The Herald * 3B Sports Sochacki new KMHS soccer coach By GARY STEWART Sports Editor New Kings Mountain High women’s soccer coach Lauren Sochacki is hitting the ground running. The former Gardner- Webb University player was recently named successor to the Lady Mountaineers’ long- time coach, Dan Potter, who retired after leading his 2009 team to the state 3A champi- onship game. Sochacki, who recently completed her first year of teaching first grade at East El- ementary School, isn’t wast- ing any time familiarizing herself with the KM program. She held a “meet and greet” with prospective 2010 players on Friday, July 10 at the school and had an open prac- tice session last night. More practice sessions will be held next week, and after school begins the team will begin strength and conditioning workouts, Sochacki, new varsity as- sistant Eli Wortman, and new head JV coach Brian Grant are all working with the team and hoping to take the Lady Bailey pitches perfect game By Coach Paul Smith Special to The Herald Bryson Bailey is a ten- year-old, fourth grade grad- uate of West Elementary School. He loves to play baseball and it shows in every game he plays. He has been playing Dixie Youth baseball since he was four years old. He is very versatile onthe field play- ing most any position. He is most often seen playing first base, hind-catcher, or pitcher. But his favorite po- sition is pitcher. I put Bryson on the pitcher’s mound for the first time last spring when he was nine. We figured we would give it a shot because I needed a pitcher, he had a good arm, and he was will- ing to try anything. It turned out, he was a natural. Bryson pitches side arm which is very rare and hardly seen in a 9-10 year old league. Bryson played for me again this spring and our team won first place in the opening season tournament. On June 2nd of this year, Bryson pitched a no-hitter. It was a perfect game. He faced 18 batters, threw ex- actly 72 pitches and struck, Bryson Bailey out all 18 batters. Bryson is a very good sport and always talks and cheers on the other players on his team. He has always been a joy to'coach because He loves being on the field and has a great attitude. He always gives 100% and listens well to instruc- “tion. He is definitely a team player. Bryson is the son of Scott and Missy Bailey, of Kings Mountain. He has a brother Colby Bailey, age 14. He is the grandson of Ed and Gail Herndon, of _ Kings Mountain, and Phil Bailey, of Belmont. He. is the great-grandson of Gertrude Bailey, of Bel- mont. : Mountaineers back to the state championship game next year. Coaches are al- lowed to work with up to ten players at a time during the off-season. “I'm real excited,” Sochacki said of her appoint- ment. “The players have a lot of talent and ability and could go very far next year. We hope to see them get back to the state championship game and win it.” Sochacki saw the Lady Mountaineers play a couple of times last season. She had planned to be a volunteer as- sistant coach under Potter but had to have therapy on her leg, which she injured at GWU. “Coach Potter has been very helpful,” she said. “I don’t plan any big changes. We had 21 players show up for the meet and greet and others have indicated that they plan to come out for fall workouts. We will do skill de- velopment in groups of ten. The workouts are optional. We understand some of the girls have a lot of things they have to do in the off-season.” Kings Mountain will re- turn seven of its 11 starters and numerous reserves from last year’s team, which won more games than any ‘other team in the school’s history. The Lady Mountaineers won their conference champi- onship for the fourth year in a row, won their first-ever Western Regional crown and played in the state title game ° for the first time. That experience should pay big dividends next sea- son. “We're all excited,” Coach Sochacki said. “We all look forward to getting back to Lt LAUREN SOCHACKI where we did last year, and winning it this time.” CONTRIBUTED PHOTO In the recent All-Star Tournament, the 9-10 year old All Stars received the 2009 NC Dixie Youth Base- ball District 3 AAA Runner-up trophies.
