Coach Santa in town paying dream forward Wings return to Hartman By Taylor Messick

It’s been a good year for Brent Hobson. Hobson grew up playing soccer locally before getting a brief shot to play at the professional level. After turning his sights toward coaching a few years ago, he’ll now get another chance to play pro soccer with the resurrected . Hobson just finished his sixth season as head coach of the wom- en’s soccer team. This year, the team was 15-6 and took second in the competitive KCAC conference. The Falcons lost 5-3 to Grace College of Indiana at nationals. It was the school’s best finish in at least 15 years — a sign that Hobson has the team moving in the right direction. At about the same time his Friends team was preparing for nationals, Hobson was preparing for his first season of high-level professional soccer in five years. “It was literally at about the same time,” said Hobson. “We had our first practice for the Wichita Wings the night of my conference tournament game. We played at Stryker Complex out east and won that game. It was a huge game for our team and program and then I’m driving over to The Sports Zone by the airport for Wings practice. So it was back-to-back and kind of crazy; but I wouldn’t change it for anything.” Hobson grew up in Valley Center and enjoyed a variety of sports. “I played so many sports,” said Hobson. Families get pictures with “Football, basketball, soccer, hockey. … Santa Claus Dec. 7. Santa We played anything and everything in Val- visited the Park City Public ley just as neighborhood kids.

He said he decided that soccer
