Excitement Grows in Utah as High School Girls Soccer Season Approaches!

The beautiful city of Utah is buzzing with excitement as the high school girls soccer season is set to kick off in just over a week! With the previous season still fresh in everyone’s minds, it’s time for teams to showcase their skills and determination in hopes of claiming the coveted state championship titles again.

Defending Champions Look to Repeat Success

Four out of the five state champions from last year are already making waves in the preseason coaches’ rankings released by the Deseret News. The teams to watch include Lone Peak, Olympus, Morgan, and American Heritage. Each of these powerhouse teams will be bringing their A-game as they fight for another shot at glory. Interestingly, the lone preseason No. 1 ranked team in 4A is Green Canyon, which was not a defending champion but is poised to make a big impression this year.

Lone Peak Sets the Standard High

Last season, Lone Peak epitomized excellence with its jaw-dropping perfect season, wrapping up a remarkable 20-0 record and seizing the 6A state championship. Even after parting ways with some elite talent, Lone Peak is not backing down. They will return six key contributors who are ready to keep the momentum going. It’s certainly commendable that this team is already being hailed as a serious contender for another title.

Olympus Aims for a Repeat

Right on Lone Peak’s heels is Olympus, who also had a stellar season last year, boasting a record of 19-1. The team won the 5A state championship in a thrilling penalty shootout against Brighton. With three first-team all-staters returning this season, Olympus is eyeing a repeat. However, they’ll need to battle through a fiercely competitive 5A landscape which is sure to provide tough challenges along the way.

A Fresh Face in 4A

On the other side of the field, Green Canyon enters the season as the preseason No. 1 in 4A despite being a younger squad. Coach Kirt Sadler has instilled a strong sense of hope and potential within the team, leaving many to believe they could pull off some impressive plays this year. Last year’s 4A state champion, Mountain Crest, is hot on their heels at No. 2, ready to give them a run for their money!

Triumphs and Challenges in 3A and 2A

For the defending 3A state champions, Morgan, the journey begins ranked at No. 1 in their class, following a successful victory against Ogden in the championship game last year. That said, the competition is fierce, with Ogden also earning a bit of favor in coach voting, setting the stage for an exciting battle for the top spot.

Meanwhile, American Heritage is celebrating its first-ever 2A state title from last year, showcasing an impressive total of 119 goals! With seven key contributors returning from their championship-winning squad, they are definitely geared up and excited to defend their title this season.

Other Contenders Emerge

The landscape of high school soccer in Utah is rich and diverse, with several other teams receiving multiple votes in their respective classifications. In 6A, teams like Copper Hills, American Fork, and Corner Canyon are all in the mix. 5A sees schools such as Pleasant Grove and Alta vying for top spots, while 4A showcases a range of teams including Park City and Crimson Cliffs. For 3A and 2A, rising teams like Carbon and ALA appear ready to make their mark.

With so much talent and determination on display, the high school girls soccer season this year is gearing up to be an unforgettable one! Whether your team is a defending champion or a rising star, the excitement is palpable, and every game is sure to deliver fireworks on the field.
