LSC’s Darren Powell awarded USL1 August Coach of the Month
LEXINGTON, Ky. (ABC36 NEWS NOW)- Lexington Sporting club’s United Soccer League One (USL1) Head Coach, Darren Powell, is the Coach of the Month for the third-tier soccer league.
Powell, who is in his first year at the helm of the Greens, led Lexington to its first ever unbeaten month in league play in August.
“It’s a nice honor to get. Most importantly, these honors are for the team, players and staff included,” said Powell.
This is LSC’s second year playing in the USL1. A 1-0-2 record throughout August has kept Lexington within reach of the final two playoff spots.
As of September 4, Powell’s boys stand at tenth in the table.
The Boys in Green are two points off ninth placed Chattanooga Red Wolves FC and three points off eighth placed South Georgia Tormenta FC, who hold the last postseason spot.
Spokane Velocity, placed seventh, are on 19 points and could also be overlapped by LSC if the team is able to continue its unbeaten run.
Powell is optimistic that could happen.
“I just appreciate all the hard work the players and staff have done for the past month and throughout the season. We all feel that we will continue to get better during September and October,” said Powell.
