After watching his team go 11-5, finish second in the Western Indiana Conference and fall in the opening round of sectional against Bethesda Christian, North Putnam boy's soccer coach Kyle Morgan is hoping his team can create another "historic season" this year. 

And, why not? 

"Last season was, overall, a positive one. We return almost everyone from last season, including five seniors: Brady Barber, Matt Farrington, Nolan Hackleman, Evan Polley and Jaylen Windmiller. We 

return multiple juniors who were regular starters for us in both attack and defense as well. This means we are able to keep the spine of our team consistent, which is a huge bonus for us," Morgan told The Putnam County Post. 

North Putnam does have to replace Myckah Slagle and Carter Thomas, who were the lone seniors from last year. 

 "Both of these players provided great leadership and were positionally flexible to play in both offense and defense so losing them hurts. Myckah was a rock for us defensively, and Carter started 3 straight years across a few different positions so we will miss them both," Morgan said. 

As he looks to this season, Morgan and North Putnam have lofty goals as they chase a "historic season."

"We want to win our first conference championship in boys soccer history at North Putnam. We want to finish with at least 10-11 wins once again and then when sectionals come around we want to compete against some of the best teams in the state and, hopefully, be playing in a sectional championship," Morgan said.
