On Nov. 10, MHS seniors Laura Myers, Samantha Yeager, Celia Boudart and Taylor Green went to represent the Middletown High School varsity field hockey team at a Frederick County Senior All-Star game at Oakdale High School.

These four girls were just teammates on the field at first but have since changed to best friends. Being able to play a sport that they love with their best friends is one of the most memorable experiences of their lives.

As the game started last night, Boudart was the starting center back, while Green started at center-mid. Myers came in at right wing, whereas Yeager came in at left defense.
Throughout the game, the girls played with heart and class. The game challenged them to step up to and show people what they were made of.
In the end, their team ended up losing, but it was a well-fought game. The girls were proud of what they had accomplished.
