LIGHTNING STEALS THEIR THUNDER: The junior varsity girls soccer team’s game ended in a 2-1 defeat against the LASA Raptors because of lightning. With 50 seconds left in the first half, the ref blew the whistle, calling the game. From then, both teams went into their locker rooms and waited 15 minutes before the refs made the decision to end the game so the varsity teams could start on time. While the game may have ended as a LASA win, McCallum had many shots on goal, and had weather circumstances been different, they may have been able to finish with more than their singular goal, scored by freshman Athena Whintle.

Many players, like freshman Lucia McNamara, had friends on the LASA team, which only increased the rivalry between the teams.

“Going up against my friends made me want to win even more,” McNamara said. “I love all of those girls off the field, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t want to beat them.”

When the news broke out that the game would end, many players were angry and disappointed.

“The whole team felt disappointed because that was a big game for us, and we wanted to win more than we have any other game this season,” McNamara said. “It’s hard to leave a game knowing you didn’t get to perform to your fullest potential as a team. 

Both the JV and the varsity will take on the Raptors again on Friday, Feb 23. Going into the game, McNamara knows that the Knights will put in their all. 

“We’re going to enter the game feeling less comfortable than we did this time, but we’re also going to want to win even moreso,” McNamara said. “The team is fired up and ready to win this game.”

The next game for the Knights is on Wednesday when they take on the Travis Rebels at House Park. The JV game starts at 6 p.m., and the varsity game starts at 7:30 p.m.
