Athlete of the Week: New Town's Kyla Clark

Athlete: Kyla Clark

School: New Town

Year: Sophomore

Sport: Varsity Soccer

Position: Attacking Midfield

Accomplishment: In Tuesday’s win over Overlea, Clark tallied five goals and two assists—and she was hardly done for the week.

Two days later against Woodlawn, she found a way to one-up her previous performance, pouring in seven goals and adding five assists.

For those scoring at home, Clark factored in on 19 goals in just 160 minutes of game action.

And, while she’s led New Town to a 6-3 record overall with her propensity for finding the back of the net, Clark impresses the Titans’ coaching staff with her ability to set up her teammates.

“She loves to play with her teammates and she’s all about trying to get them goals as well,” assistant coach Clement Sorgho said. “She’s not just trying to look for herself”

Sorgho chalks up much of Clark’s success on the field to her ball control skills, as often times she’ll elude multiple defenders on runs to the goal. 

“She’s the hardest worker on the team and she’s our best player,” Sorgho said. “She has a great attitude, very coachable. She’s one of those players that you just love to have.”
