Law senior boys soccer captain Lex Edwards recently won the title of SCC Athlete of the Month for the month of September. The team currently has a record of 12-0, which makes them the most accomplished boys soccer team in school history. So far this season, Edwards has scored 14 goals, had 12 assists, and has helped give the team one of the strongest offenses in the state. Advocate Editor-in-Chief Sydney Simpson interviewed Edwards about the soccer season and his new title. 

Sydney Simpson: How did you get nominated for the SCC Athlete of the Month award?

Lex Edwards: I got nominated for the award because of the amount of goals I scored and assists I had so quickly into the season, and for scoring winning goals against Branford, Shelton, Wilbur Cross, and Lyman Hall. 

SS: How do you feel about receiving this award?

LE:  I feel like I earned the award because I work very hard every practice, even when we don’t have practice I go to the field myself and work on my shooting. Which is one of the reasons why I’ve been scoring so many goals and performing well this season.

SS: What are your goals for the rest of the season?

LE: My goals for the rest of the season is to keep scoring goals every game, be undefeated in the regular season, and win a state championship.

SS: What do you want to say to your peers who nominated you for this award? 

LE: I want to thank everyone for nominating me for the award, especially my coaches and athletic director because they are the ones that pushed my name out there. It’s really crazy to me that out of every male athlete in the SCCs, I was chosen. It just goes to show that if you put your mind to something and work hard, it will pay off. 

SS: How do you feel that your season is going personally?

LE: Personally, I feel like I’ve performed very well so far. I got more yellow cards than I should have this season, but I’m trying my best to not get anymore.
