Congratulations to senior Lily Pressler, who committed to play soccer at Methodist University in Fayetteville during a signing ceremony Monday morning, April 20, held on the front steps of the school. Lily is the first CCA student to make a collegiate athletic commitment, giving her a place in school history. Her model as a student-athlete gives an outstanding foundation for future achievements of Soaring Eagles at the high school and collegiate levels.
Principal Greg Batten opened the ceremony with congratulations and noted the important moment for Lily and the school. Athletic Director Bob Pegram noted he has been part of many collegiate athletic signings over the years, but that this one was special for him because none of the others was a first for a school. He also complimented Lily’s family support. The CCA women’s soccer coach, Riley Bohn, talked about how Lily has developed as an athlete, highlighted her leadership and success on the field, and shared how the strong recruitment from Methodist impacted Lily’s final decision. Coach Bohn also encouraged everyone to continue following Lily’s path in soccer at Methodist by attending matches.
