Head Coach Chama Anderson leads the historically powerful girls’ soccer team to another action-packed season.

In 2011, the girls had a first round playoff loss in Tri Districts.

The Lady Vikings will only field about 13 players this year with the loss of nine players from 2011 due to graduation and moves.

However, a confident Anderson is undaunted, as she coached the Vikings to the State Championship in 2009 with only 13 players.

Anderson is relying on seniors captain Lana Bronn at center mid, Julia Bailey at goal keeper, Jessica Gudgell at wing mid and Kirsten Fowler at wing defense to lead the team.

In addition, Anderson is excited to see starters Shelby Rogers at center defense, Emma Minnis at wing defense, Brynna Gregg at wing mid and Bethany Menach at forward step up to championship play.

The team is off to a good start to the season, beating Mt. Vernon Christian at a home game on Friday, Sept. 7. The final score was 7-3.
