Bishop Carroll’s Brecken Hoy played her first two years of high school soccer with the person she looked up to the most, her older sister. Now a senior, Hoy is looking to put it all out on the field like she did those first few years.

“My ultimate favorite memory as an Eagle was being able to play with my older sister, Destiny Hoy,” Hoy said. “We are very close in age because she is two years older than me and being able to play with her for two years was my favorite thing. As sisters we had an understanding of knowing each other’s next moves, so hearing over the speaker “Hoy to Hoy connection” of me assisting her goal is something I loved hearing and wish more than anything to hear again.”

After coming so close to a championship title last season, Hoy’s biggest goal is to bring it all home this year.

“The goals I am focused on this season are making it to state again and avenging our loss at the state finals last year,” Hoy said. “Our team this year has a unique touch, for there is a lot of talent that I am blessed to be with and the girls from last year who are just as motivated to seek revenge. Personally I just want to benefit the team in whatever area they are needing help with, and my goal is to increase the opportunities I create in front of goal in my finishing and assisting.”

After high school Hoy plans to continue her academic and athletic career at the next level.

“I am attending Johnson County Community College to play soccer,” Hoy said. “I was super excited when I first went on a visit there. I felt right at home because the coaches and players were all super welcoming and nice. They made me feel like I was meant to be there which made me feel right at home. I am planning to major in nursing.”
