Jeremy McGinnis prefers the KISS approach when it comes to playing soccer.

No, not the smoochy kind.

He prefers K-I-S-S: “keep it simple, stupid.”

“The hardest part of this game is to keep it simple,” the Allen Community College women’s soccer coach said.

To that end, McGinnis is looking to a batch of newcomers with a full understanding of the sport to help lead the way for the Lady Red Devils, who open their delayed season with a match at Southwestern College in Winfield Monday. Another road game follows Wednesday at Highland before ACC’s home-opener next Saturday against Central Community College.

Typically, soccer season starts at the beginning of the fall semester, but was pushed back to the spring because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
