Wichita Southeast’s Kayla Methman was an honorable mention all-league defender last season for the Buffaloes. Her love for the game has only grown over these past four years.
“I play soccer because I have a lot of love and passion for the sport and it has brought me many friends and amazing memories over the years,” Methman said. “My parents inspire me to play because I want to make them proud and show them that all the sacrifices they have made for me over the years are going to pay off. I couldn’t be more grateful for everything they have done and given to me my whole life.”
Taking the success she had last year and applying it for this season is how Methman prepared herself for a busy spring season.
“This season one of my main goals is to score more goals and have more assists than I did last year,” Methman said. “At the end of the regular season last year I had the most points out of every defender in Greater Wichita Athletic League as a center back and it really motivated me and gave me a confidence boost that I needed in order to help be a good leader for my team.”
Methman’s soccer journey isn’t over yet, as she’s committed to play at the next level after graduation.
“After high school I plan on attending Barton Community College to continue playing soccer and study to become a Dental Hygienist in the future,” Methman said.
