Matt Stolmeier enters his ninth year coaching the boys Viking soccer team and has a strong group of 15 returning players to take on a restructured league that now includes Friday Harbor.

“We haven’t played Friday Harbor at all since I have coached,” he said. “It’s been about 10 years, so I am really excited to play them. Friday Harbor is just coming off their spring season, so they should be on their game. I am not sure if football will affect their numbers, but it’s going to be fun to have all three islands playing each other again.”

Stolmeier is confident that his core group of experienced players with only two seniors will be able to utilize their strengths of speed, possession, ball skill and playing as a team to be very competitive this season.
