Cowboys...you know!

Girls' soccer head coach Kellie Siler steps down

Kellie Siler, girls' soccer head coach, has stepped down from that position.  She sent me the following:

I have truly enjoyed the past 12 years as Head coach, 14 in all. I am proud of the winning tradition and the success that the girls soccer program has experienced in those years. I have many wonderful memories of past teams and seasons and while the records and titles are memorable it's the relationships of those players that continue to bless my life and that will always remain special and most fulfilling to me.
