Grace Champagne

PREP SOCCER • STRIKER • JUNIOR

Name:

Grace Champagne

School:

Vandebilt Catholic High School

Grade:

I am a junior.

Position:

I am primarily a striker. I play all over the field, but that is the position I spend the most time playing throughout the game and season.

Best Achievement:

I won District MVP last season. That was something that I definitely cherish and hope to do again this season for our team.

Best Known For:

Starting as an eighth grader for the Vandebilt soccer team – something that few people are gifted enough to do. Champagne was among the team’s leaders in goals as an eighth grader.

Goal For 2016:

We want to win the State Championship. We’ve come up short the past few years, but we want to push through this year and get to our goal. We think we have the talent in place to make it happen.

What Does Her Coach Say?

“Grace is an excellent player and a fantastic teammate. She works hard and leads by example. She’s played a lot of soccer for us, and she’s someone that we know what to expect out of every time we take the field. She’s a terrific kid and a great player.”

– Philip Amedee

Credentials:

Grace Champagne is a heck of a soccer player. A starter since the eighth grade, Champagne is quickly climbing up the charts in Vandebilt soccer history, emerging as one of the top goal scoring threats of recent years. Champagne still has a season and a half left of eligibility for Vandebilt. She said that her No. 1 goal is to help lead the Lady Terriers to the Division II State Championship – a prize that has eluded the team in recent years..
