Entering his fifth year at the helm, Scorpion girls soccer Head Coach Tom Cadigan is optimistic about his team’s chances to be a good ball club this winter.

Junior Sierra Winters dives for a ball during practice Friday,  Nov. 18. Winters is the goalkeeper for the Sedona Red Rock High School girls soccer team, which is hoping to have a solid 2011-2012 season this winter. Sedona was 14-3 overall last year.Sedona Red Rock High School finished the 2010-2011 campaign with a 13-2 overall record, winning the 1A-3A North region with a spotless 8-0 record.

In 2011-2012, alignments have changed and it will be up to the players for Sedona to adjust, according to Cadigan.

“I think our team is going to be good. We have a strong group of juniors, but the competition will be stronger and the girls will need to be up for that level of play,” Cadigan said.

Sedona earned a first-round bye in the 1A-3A conference state playoffs last winter with a No. 4 seed. The Scorpions played No. 12 Yuma Catholic High School in round two, winning 4-2 and advancing to the state semifinals.

Top returners for Sedona this winter include senior Catrina Lee-Wilkins, who is a captain this year, along with a strong junior core of players like Holly Drotzman, goalkeeper Sierra Winters, Marissa Surber, Jordan Matthews, Meredith Woodford and Cassie Sanchez.
