Congratulations to Spotlight's June Coach of the Month, Tim MacDonald! Coach Tim hails from Scorpions Central region, and his teams have had a great run this spring!

Spotlight asked Coach Tim about his 2007 team and coaching history.

Coach Tim:

Our team is led by our amazing and consistent goalscorer, Zhunay Moulton. Season after season she delivers game winning, game tying, and game changing goals and makes the whole team around her unstoppable. She averages over a goal a game each season. She was joined by a FRESHMAN this season up top, Ayla Nelson, playing U19 as a 15yo and she found her confidence and scoring ability with the help of Nay.

Our defense is anchored by Molly Grandazzo, who along with Haylee Baniukewicz and Kate Taylor, have led some of the best defense efforts I've ever seen - averaging less than a goal per game 5 out of the past 6 seasons.

Our midfield this season was dynamic, led by the fearless Molly Hilditch who is going to UMass Boston this season. Kailyn Courtney, Ella Ferguson, Lauren Connor, Addie Heatwole, and Sierra Lacroix completed our midfield and set our team up for success. 

We've had girls come and go over the years, but I've been lucky enough to coach these girls for the past 6 years and watch them grow from 11/12 year olds to 17/18 year old girls and it's been a blessing. The core of our team has remained unchanged and our success is due to them, and I'm looking forward to next season and watching them succeed in college and beyond.
