By Dave McMechan Spilyay Tymoo Pasha Smith is a left-footed kicker, playing mid field on the Madras High School White Buffalo varsity girls soc cer team. "Being a left-footed kicker is one of her strengths playing on the left side," said Coach Mike Osborn. "Pasha is a very agile and consistent player," said Osborn. "She has picked up the game very quickly, and she has a great attitude." This is the second year that Smith has played on the varsity soccer team. She and Mariana Manion both joined the team last year. Like Smith, Manion is playing the midfield. "She has been good for us on defense," said Coach Osborn. "Her strength is her mental toughness, the desire to outplay and stay with her op ponent." Smith is a starter at midfield on the varsity team, and Manion often fills in at that position during the games. Playing at midfield, Smith and Manion do not see as many scoring opportunities as players in the forward positions.
