Senior Taylor Spearrin has been a very important part of the Lake Region varsity boys’ soccer team this year. 

“He is a great teammate and he is a hard-working individual. It has been a blast having him on the team,” Lake Region Coach Ryan Harlow said. 

Taylor joined the soccer team after playing football for the last three years. Taylor had not played soccer since fifth grade. 

“His willingness to listen and work hard to improve his game started this summer and continued throughout the season,” Coach Harlow said. “He brings a level of leadership to the team and pushes everyone on the team to be better. It may have only been one season, but he was a huge part of our team. Taylor brings a level of physical play that we have been missing. As a lacrosse player, he knows how to hold his ground. We wish we had Taylor for another season!”

In recognition of his strong work ethic, determination, commitment and good sportsmanship, Taylor is this week’s Boosters and Hancock Lumber “Player of the Week.” Each week, a Lake Region athlete is recognized for his/her dedication (does more than what is asked), work ethic, coachability and academic good standing. Recipients receive a specially-designed t-shirt, sponsored by Hancock Lumber.
