Varsity Assistant for the Boys - Matthew Lay:
Throughout the four years of his undergraduate studies, Matthew Lay played Division II soccer for the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, where he double majored in English Literature and History, earning Academic All-Conference honors for the majority of his career. After acquiring an MA from UCCS and another from CU Boulder, Lay returned to BHS, his alma mater, as a language arts and history instructor. Since the onset of his career at Broomfield High, Lay has worked as an assistant to Coach Davidson, focusing primarily on defensive tactics as well as team strength and conditioning. From 1998-2001, Coach Lay was a member of the Eagles’ varsity soccer program, helping the team to win the school’s first soccer state championship in the 1999 season. When asked about his return to the soccer program, now as a coach, Lay asserted, “The opportunity to work with perhaps the most tactically and technically talented coaching staff in Colorado high school sports, along with the prospect of creating the new and bolstering the already well-established traditions of the BHS soccer program from which I have grown, are the two foundational reasons why I am both thankful and pleased to be a member of the Eagles’ soccer program. While this tradition places ardent focus on strengthening players’ capacities on the pitch, it simultaneously aims to augment its players’ character – something which I credit to the constitution so many current and former players, as well as my own.” Away from the Eagles’ soccer program, Coach Lay enjoys international travel and time with friends and family.

Away from the sidelines, Perkins enjoys spending quality time with his family: his wife, Aimée, and his almost year-old puppy, Hazel. He hits the links with buddies if he has a free afternoon, but his golf game isn’t worth anything to write the pro tour about, so he sticks to soccer.
