Get To Know Me (Future of the Game) – Allison Morrow

At Nebraska Soccer Talk, we love covering everything soccer related. For the most part, that means covering games and providing analysis/opinions. However, our overall mission and purpose is far reaching and ambitious. Our goal is to bring the soccer community closer together through collaboration and communication.  There are countless people that deserve recognition for their efforts as a player, official, or coach. Throughout the season, we will be highlighting these individuals through our Get To Know Me articles.

This will be a series made up of three different components. All of which are meant to bring attention to the soccer community.

  1. Get To Know Me (Coach Edition) – These individuals are responsible for building their programs, growing the game of soccer, and mentoring the next generation. We look forward to learning about their lives and philosophies.
  2. Get To Know Me (Player Edition) – This article series will focus on high school juniors and seniors that have demonstrated themselves to be quality players and people. With these features, our community will learn about some of the most impressive players in the state.
  3. Future of the Game – This article series will focus on the freshmen and sophomore classes. These are players that we will be covering for years to come.

Thank you to every individual that provided information for this idea. We appreciate your thoughtful and timely responses.

What is your favorite subject in school? Why? My favorite subject in school is geosciences because I like learning about our earth and universe.

What are your goals as an individual player? What are you doing to achieve those goals? 

My goals are to keep expanding my knowledgeable skills of soccer for my future career. I will achieve these goals by practicing more and reviewing my games to see what I can do better.

What goals do you have for your high school team during the 2021 season and beyond? What do you hope to accomplish as a group throughout your high school career? 

A goal that I have for my high school career is to work together as a team to win more games.

Who’s your favorite soccer player and why?

If I would have to choose one, I would choose Alex Morgan because I have been watching her since I was little.

Lincoln Northeast – Class A Team Preview (Girls)

Previewing an upcoming season is never an easy task. To do so properly takes countless hours of emails, observations, statistical research, conversation, and reflection. Adding onto that difficulty are challenges, such as a cancelled 2020 season and lingering COVID restrictions, making our preview preparation feel almost impossible.

Despite these obstacles, the approaching 2021 season and its participants – whether that be players, coaches, fans, or families – deserve some semblance of normalcy. Soccer in Nebraska and all those who participate deserve to be promoted. Over the course of the next several weeks, NEST will overview EVERY high school soccer program in our state. This was done to the best of our ability using all of the information we could collect.

Nebraska Soccer Talk is here to support many fantastic teams, coaches, players, fans, and referees that make our game possible. One mission of this venture is to discover and centralize newsworthy information. This can only be done in collaboration with individual programs. As a whole, our sport must better promote itself in order to grow the player and supporter pool. We encourage every team to proudly and consistently advertise itself to us and the general public. The more information available, the more our game will grow. Soccer is a game historically left behind to linger in the background in the United States. That circumstance is changing, but that change will not happen automatically. Growing and covering all aspects of our sport will take effort from all of those who love it.

Disclaimer – To prepare for these articles, a questionnaire was sent to every school’s head coach and athletic director. Many of these questionnaires were returned in a timely fashion, others were not. Nebraska Soccer Talk prides itself on equal and in-depth coverage, but cooperation is needed to meet that goal. Please consider this to be our reasoning when it comes to article length and accuracy.

Lincoln Northeast

Head Coach – Jose Hidalgo

Previous Records

Year Record

NEST Analysis – Anchored by three known college commitments, Lincoln Northeast will have a talented returning group for the 2021 season. Coach Hidalgo is a recent hire to the Class A ranks, giving this program a new voice and direction. Riley Wrhel, a Hastings College commit, will be the standout player on this squad. Hastings has a knack for talent identification, and we trust their judgement.

State Status – Front Runner, Contender, Dark Horse, Up-And-Coming, Building, Too Early To Tell

NEST Analysis – One of the main purposes of NEST is to bring greater attention to programs such as Lincoln Northeast. This is an under-the-radar school that offers a lot of opportunity to learn. Very little coverage has been given to LNE and that needs to change. Talent is everywhere in Nebraska and Lincoln Northeast is no exception. Coach Saul Perez recently took the over the top job for the Rockets and will look to implement a turnaround. 2021 will be our first introduction to this program.
