West Linn Girls Soccer is Playing For Keeps

Even without Madison Leek, West Linn’s leading scorer who graduated last year, the Lions are still coming out on top. So far they have plowed through the pre-season with five wins under their belt and only one loss allowing them to sit in eighth place in state.

The team started off the season strong with a 1-0 victory against Wilsonville and then continued it’s momentum into the next game beating out Southridge by one goal, 3-2. The next week the girls took on Putnam and emerged the victor ending it 3-1. They shut out the Blues from St. Mary’s Academy, with a 2-0 victory. The Lions lost their season opener, 1-2, in a tight game against the Oregon City Pioneers. The Lions bounced back with a 1-0 win over the Lake Oswego Lakers.

The Lions’ two long-term goals for the year according to Madison Mills, senior, are “Winning league and making it past the second round of the playoffs.”

Chemistry is really important to this team according to Mills and is showing early on and the Lions will be a team to watch out for in the 2013 season because of their ability to score and control the game.

Blake Hepburn, Reporter
When he is not scoring goals on the soccer field, Blake Hepburn, senior, is busy studying for his advanced placement classes and enjoying the great outdoors. Hepburn has been playing soccer since he was a kid and now plays on the Varsity Boys Soccer Team. “Soccer is just a great way for me to relax and have fun with friends.” Hepburn said. Although he favors outdoors, some of his favorite things include current events, which is one of the reasons he joined Amplifier. “I always like to know what is going on in news and that is one of the reasons I joined Amplifier.” Hepburn said “It is good to know what is going on in the community.” "I really enjoy doing things outdoors, such as fishing and hiking and camping. I was able to do a lot of that over the summer," Hepburn said.  "When I am older, I would love to live in Oregon. The beauty here is amazing and that is what I really love about it.” After he graduates from high school, Hepburn is looking to attend a schools such as the University of Washington and Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. Hepburn is not quite sure of what he wants to major in, but can see a major of political science in his future. "Political science would be a good major because it has a lot to do with current events and that would be fun for me because I like to know what is going on in the world." Hepburn said. "After college, maybe I could become a lobbyist, but we’ll see in the future. Maybe I might still be playing soccer.”
