“I've always loved soccer,” said Estridge. “I've been playing soccer since I was four, and it's always been a dream of mine to play college soccer.” When Brescia University came calling, the Lincoln County High School senior  knew she had found the pathway to her dream. After meeting with women's soccer coach Dave Donahue, Estridge was sold on becoming a Lady Bearcat. “For as long as I can remember, I knew I wanted to play college soccer, and it was between Hanover, Lindsey Wilson and Brescia,” Estridge said.

STANFORD — It’s really not a surprise that Lincoln County’s Ande Stamper is going to continue her athletics career at Eastern Kentucky University. She started playing AAU basketball in the fourth grade with future Lincoln teammates Jessica Upchurch, Kendra Brown, Nikki Bustle and others. She played softball from her seventh grade year through her senior year at Lincoln. She even played volleyball and started her junior season. However, it’s cheerleading that has given Stamper a chance to continue her athletics career.
