SK BLOG NOTE:
Congratulations Kevin AND the Niehaus family! Kevin suffered what was expected to be a season ending jaw injury but still made it back for regional tournament play against Ryle and scored a goal. It is neat to see a young man persevere through injury and still reach their goals. Kevin is a great testament to the SK soccer program. Kevin’s proud parents are Bill and Nancy Niehaus who are big supporters of the SK Soccer Program.
