Titusville Rockets
Girls
Coach (season, record): Rick Shrout (6th season, 51-43-4)
2010 overall record: 12-6-1
2010 region record (place): 5-0-1 (champion)
2010 playoff results: Lost 2-0 to Villa Maria in the District 10 Class AA quarterfinals.
Top players lost: Dorothy Stromdahl, Alecia Weldon, Samantha Boyle, Jennifer Bleday, Lisa Conner
Top returning players: Faith Champion, Grace Champion, Natilee Zdarko, Lindsey Downing
Assistant coach: Kim Wheeling
Outlook: Titusville will have some work to do in camp replacing seven seniors, including six starters. Among the graduates were all-region goalkeeper Dorothy Stromdahl and all-region midfielder Alecia Weldon. Also gone are all-region picks Samantha Boyle, Jennifer Bleday and Lisa Conner. The cupboard won’t be empty for coach Rick Shrout. Faith Champion, the Rockets’ leading scorer, and her twin sister Grace Champion, a defender, are back to lead the way along with school-record holder in assists Natilee Zdarko. All three were first-team all-region selections, while Faith Champion was the Region 4 co-Player of the Year. The Rockets have a few prospects on the lower level that could step up this fall. Sophomores Gage Holmes and Kori Maifeld could see playing time, while juniors Cierria Kaczmarek, Jennifer Kellogg and Jale Funte and senior Kari Sutton could be contributors this season.
