Mitchell High School Boys Soccer Aims for Continued Success in 2025

Mitchell, a city that’s buzzing with excitement, is gearing up for a promising fall season with the Mitchell High School boys soccer team leading the charge. After a solid finish in the 2024 season, confidence is high among the players, coaches, and fans alike.

The Rise of the Kernels

Last year, the Mitchell boys’ soccer program recorded a 5-8-2 record, showing significant improvement compared to the previous three seasons combined. This upward trend marks a turning point that many in the community are celebrating. It’s a big deal when a team moves from struggling to achieving a better record, and the players feel it too.

A New Mindset

Senior captain midfielder Sam Mullenmeister highlights the shift in the team’s approach. After several tough seasons, the players have banded together and flipped the script on their mindset. Instead of focusing on past misfortunes, they’re motivated to change perceptions about their program and build a legacy of success.

Leadership on the Field

Third-year head coach Seth Paulson is a central figure in this cultural transformation. With his own experience as a five-year starter and a multi-year all-Eastern South Dakota Conference selection, he knows what it takes to win. Under Paulson’s guidance, the team has been encouraged to break free from the shackles of previous losses and to embrace a future filled with potential.

Experience Meets Fresh Talent

As the team prepares for the upcoming season, they will be navigating some changes. Although they graduated six players from last year’s lineup, they have a strong group of 11 seniors returning, which bodes well for both experience and leadership on the field. Senior captains Mullenmeister and Adam Kampshoff are ready to take charge and mentor their teammates through the challenges of the season.

Looking Ahead

Kampshoff is particularly optimistic about the talent coming up from the underclassmen. There’s a buzz in the air about their skills and potential contribution to the team’s performance. As new players integrate into the squad, the focus remains firmly on building on the momentum created in the previous season. The team is enthusiastic about proving that their success wasn’t just a fluke; they are committed to striving for continuous improvement.
