The girls’ soccer team opened their season at the jamboree Friday, March 8. The Bruins joined Battle High School (BHS) and Hickman High School (HHS) at BHS to play their first competitive minutes as a team. The jamboree showcased a transformed RBHS team, that lost seven seniors as well as their head coach since last season. So far, this year’s seniors have been adjusting to the new dynamics while leading the team.
The seniors are also adjusting to their new coach, Scott Wittenborn, who has coached the RBHS boys’ soccer team since 2014.
I have really enjoyed [Wittenborn’s] coaching style,” Kliethermes said. “He is someone who wants to better every single player and will tell you if you need to work on something. It’s definitely a quality that I think will greatly improve our team.
“We’re all willing to put in the effort as individual players,” Davis said. “But we haven’t really come together as a team completely. . . I think that with a little more time, we’re going to have a great team this year.”
Davis believes the jamboree is a way to bring the new team together. Although learning to play under a new coach has been hard for Davis so far, she sees the potential in her transformed team.
“I think no matter what, if we play how we know we can, it won’t really matter who’s coaching,” Davis said.
