Plant City Observer

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Kellee Brown

Perhaps no one has seen the progression of the Plant City High girls’ soccer program over the last four years more than Kellee Brown. The senior center back/defender has been a captain for the Lady Raiders since her junior season and has started since her freshman year. PCHS has come a long way as a program since then, including two consecutive trips to the region tournament. The Lady Raiders hold the No. 1 seed for the Class 4A District 9 tournament and will face either Hillsborough or Brandon Jan. 17, for a chance to clinch a third-consecutive regional spot.

How long have you been playing soccer?

Competitively, I’ve been playing since I was 11 years old.

For what club teams have you played?

I played for the Plant City Lancers, and then I played in Lakeland, and now, I’m in Brandon with the VSI Flames.

What are your thoughts on this season so far at PCHS?

We all came in thinking that we were going to go far, because of our results last year and making history with the regional semifinals. We don’t know if we’re going to make it further, but we definitely plan on it.

To what do you attribute the continued success over the years?

There’s definitely been more girls coming in with talent, and the coaches have been great.

What are some highlights from this year that stand out?

Tying Newsome 2-2 early this year was big for our team. They’re a really good program and are out of our district but are still a rival. So, that was big for us.

What about personal highlights?

I’ve scored five goals this year, so that’s the most I’ve scored playing in high school.

What will you remember most from your high school career?

Just the atmosphere of the team. It’s fun to have the group of girls to talk with and have fun with. Also, both coaches I’ve had have been encouraging and positive.

Any plans to play in college?

I’m committed to play for Florida Southern.

Were there other schools interested in you?

Just (University of Tampa) and Florida Southern, but I really wanted to stay close to home.

Have you chosen a major?

Not yet, but I know I want to go into physical therapy.

Do you play any other sports?

I’ve been on the flag football team since my sophomore year and played volleyball my sophomore year.

Do you have any hobbies outside of sports?

Not really, but school is important. I have a 4.0 unweighted GPA.

What’s your favorite subject?

Math

And least favorite?

Probably English. I’m pretty bad at writing.Anonymizer Elite – !!.” >http://avtogaz.dp.ua/zaym-onlayn-na-bankovskuyu-kartu-bez-otkaza.php
