Lloyd Memorial soccer programs launch with senior night celebration
Summary

Lloyd Memorial High School held its first senior night for newly established boys and girls soccer teams on September 25, 2026, marking a significant return of the sport after decades. The girls team celebrated a 6-0 victory over Holmes, while the boys team suffered a 7-2 loss against the same opponent. The revival follows efforts by seniors, particularly Vanessa Angulo and Kellen Cochran, who led recruitment initiatives after the school received board approval for funding. Athletic Director Bill Pilgram noted the importance of the program for students not involved in other sports, emphasizing gradual improvement for inexperienced players.
