Wren senior, Hannah Gmerek netted three goals to lead the Wren Lady Hurricanes over the visiting Lady Rams of Westside. She scored two beatiful headers, one off of a corner kick 4 minutes into the match, and 1 off of a very quickly taken free kick with a scant 3 minutes left in the game. Both were textbook, powerful, straight into the back of the net stuff you would expect to see on the boys side, but rarely see two of, from the same player, on the girls side.
On a humorous note, the Westside player marking Gmerek was sent off with a yellow card for encroachment on a free kick that Hannah was taking, after being moved back twice by the referee. When she came off the field, she responded to me, "Sorry, coach, all I could think was that I was supposed to be marking her, and 10 yds away was too far!"
Congrats to coach Michael Burriss on a well coached, highly skilled Lady Hurricanes squad that could wrap up the 2nd seed in Region I-AAAA with wins over Easley and Greenwood over the course of the next few days.
