Senior Captain Owen Terrell Is Byron Carlson Petri & Kalb Male Athlete Of The Month For Father McGivney
GLEN CARBON – The second home game of his senior year didn’t go as hoped for the captain of the boys' soccer team Owen Terrell. The Griffins lost 6-0 to a very good Triad team, but Terrell knows his team gave it everything they had. “We tried our best and sometimes our best isn’t enough,” he said after the game. He’s the team’s leading goal scorer with three on the season. He had some chances against the Knights but couldn’t convert. He’s just happy to still be captaining his team, win or lose. He had a really great answer when asked what being a captain means to him. “It’s a pretty big responsibility. It’s something that I’ve always wanted to have since my freshman year looking up to my upperclassman. Now that I have it, I know I have some big shoes to fill and it’s just really important that I keep my head, lift my teammates up, and make sure we still have a positive energy on the field.”
