The Lady Vikings bring home the first-ever State Championship
The Lady Vikings Soccer Team, fresh from their State Championship games this weekend, were celebrated in a ceremony today at the High School Gyn, and a parade through town.
Coach Chama Anderson spoke movingly of her pride in the girls, while they acknowledged her motivation, focus and integrity in helping them set the goals to play in the state championships last year, and to win the state title this year.
Coach Chama Anderson praises the Orcas Vikings Girls Soccer Team, State Champions. Assistant Coach Bridget O'Toole stands behind her.
Each team member presented Coach Anderson with a flower and thanks for a particular attribute she instilled in the team.
Assistant Coach Bridget O’Toole was also honored by “her” girls.
A video of the team’s final games was shown, with the dramatic “shoot-outs” that and Goalie “saves” that brought victory to La Vikings. Coach Anderson stopped the video at strategic moments to point out the nerve, spirit and discipline the girls exercised throughout the season.
Following the presentation in the packed school gym, the team and their supporters marched through Eastsound.
