Alexander Earns Gamer of the Week Honors

Teays Physical Therapy Center, Inc. and The Putnam Herald are pleased to present this week’s Female Gamer of the Week to Senior, Sydne Alexander of the Winfield High School Soccer team.  

 Sydne Alexander, a standout player for the Winfield Lady Generals soccer team, is making waves both on and off the field. With an impressive tally of 22 goals and numerous assists this season, the center attacking midfielder is proving to be a formidable force on the pitch.  

Sydne's soccer career began at the young age of 5, inspired by her aunt, Jade Lewis, a former collegiate soccer player. “I used to watch her play every single game,” Sydne recalls. “When I step onto the field, all my worries disappear, and I feel pure joy.”  

This season, Sydne and her teammates have been focused on building chemistry, and it’s paying off. “We trust one another, and trust is big when it comes to team sports, and I believe this year’s team definitely has a lot of it,” Alexander says. Her dedication has not only contributed to her team's success but also solidified her role as a leader. 

Off the field, Sydne excels academically and is involved in various extracurricular activities, including the National Honor Society, Science National Honor Society, Pep Club, Key Club, Student Council, Link Crew, and Beta Club. Sydne was also crowned 2024 Miss Putnam County. Recently, she was awarded the prestigious WV Scholar title, which provides her with a full-ride scholarship to West Virginia Wesleyan College. There, she plans to major in Health Sciences and pursue her dream of becoming a pediatrician. 

Coach Jade Lewis speaks highly of Sydne’s determination: “Sydne is an exceptional player with a fantastic knowledge for the game. She will continue to succeed at the next level. She is a leader on and off the field and is one of the most competitive players I’ve ever coached. I wait to watch her play at the next level next year.”  

As the season progresses, Sydne remains committed to her goals, both on the soccer field and in her academic pursuits. The Winfield Lady Generals will be back in action Thursday September 26th in Sissonville versus the Lady Indians at 6pm.
