Other returning award winners from last year include fellow All District 12 first teamer Kyle Kutz (senior), All District 12 second teamer Matt Medley (senior), and All District 12 Honorable Mentions Darren Shaw (senior) and Jared Moore (junior).
The Vikings will be playing their first year in Class 3 District 11 against Kickapoo, Glendale, Nixa, Ozark, and Branson. The team is also a member of the Ozark Conference that includes Kickapoo, Joplin, Hillcrest, Glendale, Lebanon, Waynesville, Rolla, West Plains and Camdenton.
If you or someone you know would like to help with one of the many team, field, or other related tasks that need to be done during the season, please contact the booster club or the website. The Booster Club is made up of boys’ soccer parents, and they are responsible for many team needs, including: field maintenance and clean up, running the concession stand during the games, purchasing items for the teams (like nets, meals, etc.), and ordering player uniforms.
The first game of the season will be September 2nd at Glendale. The Junior Varsity squad will kick off at 5:00 p.m., with the Varsity to follow. Entire Fall schedule.
