Even in an injury-shortened freshman campaign, Mitch Ward made quite the impression on his Fillmore boys soccer coaches.
Ward spent a long stretch of the 2019 season sidelined with a shoulder injury, but still scored a Fillmore freshman-record 14 goals for a team that made the New York state Class D semifinal. But with three of the teamâs top four scorers (Levi and Tobias Webb and Ethan Peet) graduating last year, the Eagles needed a go-to scorer to emerge this fall.
âI was really bummed out last year because we were really pushing for a sectional title and I felt like I couldnât be there for my team while I was out with a shoulder injury,â Ward said. âBut this year, without having the Webbs and Peety (Ethan Peet) and all the seniors there to really carry us, I had to step up and make sure I was able to help my team win and try to get back to the place we were at last year.
