Scott Taylor has been hired as Dorman’s new varsity girls’ soccer coach.
Taylor takes over for Joseph Lorenz, who retired from coaching at the conclusion of this season. Lorenz led the Lady Cavaliers soccer program for the past eight seasons, winning a state championship in 2006. This year the Dorman girls lost to Mauldin 2-1 in the upper state championship match.
Taylor played collegiate soccer at The Citadel from 1996 - 2000. After graduating, he spent a season as varsity boys’ assistant soccer coach at Stratford High School and two years as an assistant at Berkeley High School.
Taylor has taught science at the Dorman Freshman Campus for eight years. He was the head coach of the Dorman girls’ JV team in 2009 compiling a 10-1-2 record as was the head boys JV coach this year leading that team to a 12-1-1 record.
“Coach Taylor is very deserving of this position,” said Dorman athletic director Flynn Harrell. “He has done an outstanding job leading our junior varsity teams during the last few years. He has a passion for soccer and for coaching and teaching young people that will be infectious to the players in our program. He is a tireless worker who will have our teams prepared to play in the rigorous region 2-4A. We appreciate Coach Lorenz for building our girls’ soccer program into one of the top programs in the state and we have full confidence that Coach Taylor will continue the tradition of excellence that we have come to expect from the Dorman girls’ soccer program.”
