Emerald High’s Rachel Baggett is a good keeper. Though I have not seen her much in high school action, she made a big impact on her club team this past season. Her team nicknamed her JEDI because “only a JEDI keeper could make some of the saves she made.” I remember one game she played in where the opposing team was fighting to come back from a 1-0 deficit. It was heavy traffic in front of the goal and a shot came from about six feet away and was low and to the corner. Everyone knew that ball was going in but she dived and managed to get a hand on it. It was an amazing save, and I am glad I was there to witness it. Her team ended up winning that game 1-0.
A very nice kid who I understand will be playing at Lander next year.
