Yeoman named coach of the year

Andrew Yeoman has been named the 2018 Desoto County Soccer Coach of the Year.

“There is no way that I can take all the credit for winning this award,” said Yeoman, the head boys soccer coach at Center Hill High School. “That credit should go to the players.”

The season included a district championship and a top seed in the state playoffs. The team’s district record was 6-0 with an overall record of 17-4.

“The reason I received this award is because I am lucky enough to have coached a team full of players that love to play hard together and for each other,” Yeoman said.

Keagan Massey, a senior on the team, had a different view.

“We couldn’t have done that without his trust in us,” Massey said. “His trust in us gave us the best record in the district.”
