The historic 2023 season for Tallulah Falls saw the Indians grab a #1 state ranking for the first time, a Region Championship (1st), and Sweet 16 run while going 16-1. Nearly all the core players are back, but a tougher schedule should make this team even more battle-tested when heading into the state tournament.

Head Coach: Jeremy Stille (5th Season)
2023 Record: 16-1; Region Champions; State Sweet 16; #1 State Ranking

Returning Starters: 10
Key Returners: Austin Ball, Jake Wehrstein, Brit Shaw, Landon Hall, Josiah Turney, Laith Reynolds, Clay Kafsky, Jared Mullis, Jackson Cording, Koen Eller, Jacob Mitchell, Kelton Reynolds

“Austin Ball led the team in assists and goals last year will be returning for his senior year,” says Stille. “Defense of Jake Wehrstein, Brit Shaw, Josiah Turney, Laith Reynolds will all be returning. Midfield with Clay Kafsky, Landon Hall, Jared Mullis, Jackson Cording, Koen Eller, and Jacob Mitchell. Returning GK with Kelton Reynolds who set personal defensive records last year.”
Key Departures: Jake Hall, Simeon Conjagic

Team Strengths: Great core, experience, scoring, goalkeeping, defense

“We should have a solid foundation to continue to build on as we move into this season,” says Stille. “We have intelligent seasoned upperclassmen on the team for the first time in a few years, and will be able to integrate some exceptional young talent into the squad as well. We should have more depth this season, allowing us to be less fatigued later in games and later in the season. Although we may not hit the statistical highs that we reached last season, we definitely plan on competing for a region championship and a deep run in the state playoffs.”
