 Another strong regular season in the books for the Brainerd girl soccer team, but in terms of leaders on and off the field, one player stands out. Clayton Castle sat down with Regan McElfresh to talk about her breakout season. In sports, leadership comes in many different forms for the Brainerd Warriors girl soccer team. It comes in the form of senior Regan McElfresh. Regan has been a big part of the success of the Warriors this season as a leader both on and off the field. How are you a leader? Most of all I'm a leader like verbally wise I tell people oh you can turn you can like I kind of tell them on the field and during practice kind of leading by example. Warriors head coach Grant Cominder says that Regan's leadership extends beyond the play on the field. Regan is a leader I think she's great at leading by example. You know if we ever have a kid that isn't maybe sure how to act it's pretty easy to just say look at Regan and that's how you should act. On the field though, Regan is having herself quite a nice season statistically. You rank six in the state in goals with 23 and also accounts for 35% of the entire team scoring by far the most. I mean you're also ranked third in the state in assists with 19. What do you attribute all this success to? Definitely Grant helping me in the summer practicing soccer. We literally practiced every day shooting wise. Despite losing last season's top scorer Allie Smith, now a star freshman at Bemidji State, the Warriors coaching staff is not at all surprised that the season Regan is putting together. We expected a big season under Regan. I think she's exceeded our expectations but she tends to do that a lot. The Warriors 13 and 2 regular season has come to a close and Regan is looking to lead the team to its first game one section win since 2009. I have a little bit of nerves going on just because it is my last possibly my last game ever. Um I'm pretty confident that we'll win though because we are so strong. Every single one of us is ready and I think we'll make it far. We're in number 21. Senior captain Regan McAlfrey. No matter how the season ends, it's safe to say that Regan McAlfrey will go down as a warrior great. Reporting in Brainer Clayton Castle, Lakeland News. Thanks Clayton.
