"It's just so much more fun to come to practice or come to school if it's a fun environment. If it's not fun, it's kind of a drag," said Carly Thomson, a center midfielder known for bringing a mix of focus and silliness to her team. That combination worked well this season as Thomson, Kamiak's only healthy senior, helped lead the Knights to the Class 4A state tournament. It was the program's first state-tourney appearance. The Knights' season ended Nov. 11 with a 3-2 first-round loss against Mead in Spokane. Learn more about the role Thomson played in Kamiak's success, as well as her passion for teaching and love of country music. Coach's corner When Thomson first played organized soccer at age 6, her coach was Beth Stewart. Stewart eventually became Kamiak's head coach and has seen Thomson evolve, personally and athletically. "She is just a great person. Her maturity level was so evident to me," Stewart said of Thomson, a four-year member of the Knights varsity team. Know your role As a center midfielder, Thomson's main responsibilities were to possess the ball, look ahead and pass to open teammates. Staying cool is essential, she said: "What I bring is that I can kind of keep the ball and stay calm with it and look up to see where it needs to go." The lone senior After Kamiak's Kendall Stanley was sidelined in mid-October with a knee injury, Thomson was the team's lone healthy senior. While feeling sad for Stanley, one of Thomson's closest friends, Thomson strived to provide leadership and reinforce her coaches' expectations. "It's the coaches' job to tell the team what to do," said Thomson, "and then as a captain or a senior you've got to show them what to do, so that was kind of my job." Heads up, Miley! This fall in an attempt to cheer up the team, Thomson bought a life-size cardboard cutout of pop singer/actress Miley Cyrus. With help from a teammate, Thomson dressed "Miley" in purple clothes and placed her behind the net. The team worked on its shooting accuracy by aiming for the cutout. The quirky idea was a hit -- Kamiak regularly brought "Miley" to practices and games. Dream job Thomson would like to be a teacher. She currently interns at Columbia Elementary School, helping fifth-grade students with daily lessons and reading assignments. Last year Thomson worked with second-graders. "They are so sweet. You walk in there and they just jump on you and they have a nickname for you," she said. "They want to know everything about you." Pure country Country is Thomson's favorite music genre. Asked who she'd pay to see in concert, Thomson picked Carrie Underwood. Mike Cane, Herald Writer READER COMMENTS Be the first to comment.
