GRANITE CITY - The Warriors' girls soccer team has had one of the best seasons in recent memory, largely in part to a tremendous senior class. Granite City currently sits at 11-2-1 on the season following a 2-2 tie against Marquette Catholic Tuesday night (May 2). The Explorers knocked in two goals in quick succession to go ahead 2-0 at the half on the Warriors' Senior Night. Senior captain Ella Hickam and her team weren't going to give up though. "In the first half, we were just not all on the same page," Hickam said of her team's play early on. "Our communication just wasn't there, but then we went into the second half, we said let's play like we know we should, communicate, play simple passes, and keep them on their half." That's what they did as the Warriors rallied back to tie the game back up at 2-2. For her determination on Senior Night, Ella Hickam is a Stillwater Senior Living Athlete of the Month for the Warriors. Still, Hickam agreed that the tie was a little disappointing
