On The Pitch With NHS Head Soccer Coach,Eric Shelton

This year’s team is comparable to the team we fielded in 2025 in many ways. We have a good group of core senior leaders that are guiding us through the season complimented by a group of underclassmen that are getting their feet wet at the varsity level.

We have a couple of players that are shining on the field for us this year. Brandon Ham is a senior central mid that glides through defenders and sets up many of our attacking sequences. JD Kuhlman is settling in at a new position as center back in our defensive line. He is a great athlete with a competitive drive that keeps our team on the front foot. Caden Pharr is a dependable defender that has added an attacking element to his game. 

We are working to become a resilient team that manages the highs and lows of the game. We play in the most difficult district in the state. Our motto is “respect all, fear none”. If we believe in ourselves, know our responsibilities, and finish our opportunities we can play with any team in the state.

We continue to work to earn the respect of our community and are striving to create an atmosphere and product that the community will come to support on a regular basis. All of our summer camps are well attended and we would love to have those young players out to see a match and experience the high school game.
