Moua, Troyna to become Lady Raiders
Former Oak Ridge High girls soccer coach Donnie Green, who left the Lady Wildcats’ program following the 2023 season to begin the women’s program at Roane State Community College, has been hitting the recruiting trail hard.
And he recently signed a pair of former local players to play for the Lady Raiders.
Oak Ridge High senior Victoria Moua recently finalized her college plans when she signed her National Letter of Intent to play for her former high school coach at Roane State.
Green, obviously, is familiar with Moua, a defender and three-year starter on the Oak Ridge back line.
“She’s a very smart player. She communicates well and she plays her position very strongly,” Green said of Moua. “As a junior, she dislocated her elbow and that hurt us a bit, but she worked hard and recouped.
“Everything she’s gotten she earned it. She works hard and she never complains. She does her job. Signing her was big for my back line. We’re desperately in need of defenders. I’ve gotten some forward and I’ve gotten some midfielders.”
One of those forward is Anderson County senior Elizabeth Troyna, who will have her signing ceremony at ACHS on April 11.
“She plays primarily in the midfield but she told me that she could be a utility player,” Green said. “She can also play forward and outside back as well.
“She’s a hard worker and she’ll definitely help my Roane State team move forward. I feel comfortable putting her anywhere on the field. She does well finding feet.”
