Sisters Caroline and Whitaker Buchanan, along with their cousin, Beau Buchanan, are athletic forces at Bowling Green High School. Caroline and Whitaker are starters on the girl’s soccer team, and Beau is the starting quarterback for the football team.
Last season, Whitaker led the girl’s soccer team in goals scored with 34, averaging 1.7 goals per game. Caroline followed her sister with 12 goals scored. Right now, Beau is number seven in the state across all classes in passing yards with 780 yards.
When asked how it is to play knowing they have their family in the program and around to support them, Whitaker said, “It’s really reassuring knowing you have so many people around you supporting you. It gives me a lot of confidence in soccer and my education because they are helping me.”
Caroline said, “It feels great because I have such a great supports system around me. Everyone is watching each others backs, and we always are cheering for each other. I love having my family be along the same side with me because it just makes it even more special.”
The Buchanans are a tight knit family who love to go and show their support for one another. Beau said, “Seeing all our family in the stands helps more than anything when you’re trying to focus on the game.”
Make sure to watch out for the Buchanans on the field this season.
