Smith took this extra responsibility seriously and helped guide the team to be better and more cohesive. The spring scrimmages were good for McKay. She played both as an outside back and a center back for the Mustangs again. The majority of her time was spent as a center back. She excelled in this role and in the opportunity to grow as a player. McKay is expected to see plenty of field time this fall and help direct the Mustangs back towards the Region IX playoffs and a run at back to back Region IX Championships.
