The rise of Jenna Thomason

The rise of Jenna Thomason

Jenna Thomason is an All-Star forward for the Fresno City College soccer team and has been a Ram for the past two years. Thomason was the Central Valley Conference most valuable player this year and has recently committed to play for Fresno Pacific University in fall, 2014.

Jenna was a star at Bullard high were she won a valley title, and advanced to a state playoff birth. She was a Bee All-Star.

Jenna was 1st team All-American, scored 22 goals this past fall, and added 5 assists.

She was one of the leaders of a 18-2-3 FCC soccer team that was ranked No.1 in NorCal, No.2 in the whole state and as high as No.8 in the entire country.

Head Coach Oliver Germond

on how dominant of a player Jenna has been in her 2 season at FCC

“Jenna is amazing, she is a goal scorer and also very unselfish in many ways to help set up her teammates.

She makes a big difference on our team because she is so calm on the ball and teams struggle to mark her because of her size (6’1) and her speed.

In the playoffs she was covered well so the rest of the team needed to step up. That’s what happened vs Taft in our last regular match.

They double teamed her every time she received the ball but we were able to still score 5 goals” saod Germond.

Thomason has been playing soccer since kindergarten and much of her inspiration for the sport has been her three older brothers.

“They have always watched out for me and expect a lot,” said Thomason.

Before a game the star player listens to “Pocket Full of Sunshine” to get pumped up, which fits the spunky athlete’s personality perfectly.

You can’t help but smile and feel good about yourself after talking to her.

“During the season I really try to keep it on the healthy side,” said Thomason.

“Every night before game day Coach will make chicken and rigatoni pasta with salad which I love.” said Thomason

When she’s not playing soccer or studying for school you can find Thomason hanging out with friends or hunting.

She also loves country music and would score one hundred goals if Luke Bryan ever came to one of her games.
