Trinity Coach Off to Iraq

» WFAA: Trinity coach leaves team to fight in Iraq

If I live to blog about only one story involving women's soccer, this is the one. Just a great writeup of Trinity coach Kurt Clawson as he prepares to ship out to Iraq.

The girls soccer team at Euless Trinity High School has mantra: "We fight for our coach, he fights for our country."

Trinity is a program on the rise. A year ago, the Lady Trojans won their first playoff game in 15 years. If they are going to continue to rise, they will have to do it without their head coach, Kurt Clawson.

Since 2005, Clawson has been in the Army National Guard and he was recently called up for active duty. He will have six weeks of training in Oklahoma, then five months of intelligence training in Arizona. By the time the next school year is beginning, Clawson will be on his way to Iraq.
