The lady Royals were coached by first year head coach
Payton Chitwood. Coach Chitwood had this to say about his Royals, "I'm extremely proud of the overall growth and the way they blossomed at the end of the year. Lots of adjustments early on, but they bought in and I'm glad. I'm impressed with how they did on and off the field and proud to have coached this group of girls." Chitwood was then asked his thoughts about his record setting year, "This year was a product of details, records don't mean very much to me, what does, is how the team treated each other individually and the teammate relationships developed. When the little details are taken care of, the rest will follow." The lady Royals also put up a rare 6 individuals that scored game winning goals this season.Â
