The Mountain Home community is invited to East Side Park this Thursday as the Lady Tigers hold their senior night celebration.

This year's seniors -- Jacey Carr, Elizabeth Ryan, Anna Perdroza, Violet Martinez, Jordan Page, Tayde Rodriguez and Nicole Milford -- are all four-year high school soccer players.

"They have been a huge part of our high school," team officials said as they extended their invitation for Thursday's celebration to people throughout the Mountain Home community. "What a wonderful way to thank them than to join in their senior ceremony."

Each of these teens have played together for more than 12 years, starting with the city parks and recreation program before moving to the Mountain Home Soccer Club on their way to play with the high school team. Some have also played on the Idaho Rush competitive soccer club.

These girls are more than just soccer players with a combined 35 varsity letters for soccer, basketball and track, team officials said. They are also huge supporters of the Tigers' football, basketball, wrestling and softball teams.

More than half of the girls being recognized next week are also part of the National Honor Society with their grade point averaging between 3.3 and 4.0. These teens also volunteer for the school's Link Crew, coach soccer for the city parks and recreation department in addition to their service with local churches and the One World Soccer Camp.

The Tigers' senior night game is a black out event. Soccer action starts at 5:15 p.m. at the Tigers' soccer field.
