It was hard to tell who the real Coach Cat Bradley was at Flagler Palm Coast’s girls soccer practice on Oct. 31.
The players were dressed up in Halloween costumes when they arrived at the practice field. Three players dressed as Coach Cat, the team’s varsity assistant and JV head coach.
Some players wore inflatables. One player wore a dinosaur inflatable as she warmed up. Others wore pink tutus.
