Ryan Underwood,
a senior at South Ripley has done
much to prepare himself to be the
best he can be, at a sport that
requires him to anticipate, hurry-up,
and wait. Underwood as the Raider
goalie on the Varsity Boys Soccer
Team, is their last hope of keeping
their opponents from scoring.
With the movement of a cat on
the prowl, he continually sizes
up the opposition to best defend
his goal.
Works toward scholarship
Underwood aspires to earn a college
scholarship by way of his soccer
talent. His intent is to major
at college in landscaping or something
in the agricultural field.
He has attended Indiana University
soccer camps the last five years.
Last year he also attended soccer
camp at Ohio State University,
and played with an indoor soccer
league in '04 and '05 to hone his
skills.
With a deep passion for the sport,
Underwood also plays on the Batesville
spring league.
Coach Myers when speaking of Underwood
says it is a pleasure to have one
as devoted as Ryan on the team.
He also states he has others with
positive attitudes and they too
want to see, and work hard to see
that the sport progresses to higher
levels at South Ripley for years
to come.
