A junior at Buhler High School, Alexis Hutton has spent most of her many hours of her young life on the soccer field. Now a varsity player, Hutton’s passion for the game has not failed despite the current situation her and players across the country are facing.

“Due to the virus it has been hard to stay in touch with my teammates but we have made many efforts. Facetime calls, group chats and workouts in small groups have made this somewhat possible,” said Hutton. “One thing that I love most about my team and teammates specifically is the positive environment that we have. We are very supportive of each other and always look to help one another on and off the field.”

The forward for Buhler loves being a student-athlete representing her school at home or on the road.

“I enjoy being a student athlete because of the overall atmosphere created at Buhler. All of the staff and coaches are highly encouraging and want to see me and all of my peers succeed,” said Hutton. “My favorite subject in school is science. I have always found it interesting because it provides answers to many questions I may have. However, my favorite teacher is my math teacher Mr. Moler. He is my favorite teacher because I feel like he does an excellent job explaining and teaching the subject.”

While Hutton has some down time, she is still staying active and working on her skills, agility and speed.

“I am a very restless person and cannot sit still for too long. So if I am not practicing or playing soccer I am likely playing tennis, basketball, track, or any other sport,” said Hutton.

The next time you are at a Buhler girls soccer game, but sure and look for No. 43 on the pitch making plays.
