Coach Eric Shelton
How many years have you coached at Nolensville High?
This is my 8th year at Nolensville – hired when the school opened. 13 at Siegel high school prior to NHS.
Top players to watch?
Adrian Byassima
Joey Veinbergs – Junior – central defender. Starter since his freshman year. Great size and athleticism.Joey reads the game well and will be key in organizing a new defensive line.
What are your expectations of the 2024 Team?
We are in a bit of a rebuilding year at NHS. We are going to have to fill many holes from last year’s senior heavy team. We have a crop of players that are eager to show their ability to compete at the high school level. I would expect our team to be very competitive and if we can compete effectively against our district opponents we can compete against any team in the state.
Who are your key Seniors?
Adrian Byassima – signing with Duke – attacking mid or forward – returning leading scorer and 2023 District Player of the Year.
Gabe Vazques – signed with Belhaven University – shifting him into a new role as a defender this year.
Cole Puckett – three-year starter in the central midfield. This is going to be a break out year for Cole.
Leo Duncan is joining the team from homeschool. Leo is a skilled player that has the potential to improve our ability to possess the ball and can be an attacking presence.
Conor Kasewurm – Sr. Not a new player but a player that will get more opportunities this year as a senior and I believe that Conor is ready to make a mark in district play.
We should be a fun team to follow. Dynamic attacking players. We will definitely be a work in progress over the course of the season as we develop chemistry.
A tough schedule that will push us to improve every game. Schedule includes BGA, Father Ryan, McCallie, Oakland, and Siegel as out of district opponents.
