The departure of Hollidaysburg Area High School girls soccer coach Jim Watt left open one of the most sought-after coaching positions in the area. The Lady Tigers started at least five freshmen in the field in every game as they tore through the District 6 Class AAA competition en route to the championship last season and then had a strong run in the state playoffs. They have matured in the offseason and truly will come back with the realistic potential to capture the state championship. The Hollidaysburg Area School District voted in its June board meeting to name former junior high school soccer coach Dave Soellner as head coach of the Lady Tigers. Soellner has limited experience as a scholastic coach but has been coaching at the travel team level for a number of years and should bring strong discipline to the team. His daughter, Ashlynn, has been a scoring machine for the squad for the past three years and should be again as a senior.
