State Soccer Championship
In my 15 years in school administration, I have had the opportunity to attend two other state championship games with my schools before this year- one for girls basketball (at DeForest) and one for girls soccer (at Belleville).
The Sugar River Raider boys soccer playoff run, which ended with a state championship on Saturday, was so fun to watch! It was a pleasure to work and celebrate with Dr. Thayer, Dr. Eichelkraut, and Athletic Director Mitch Cernek from New Glarus. Although we are rivals in some sports, soccer has once again brought the two communities together.
You could see that on the field, with the starters and contributors evenly split between the two schools. It was also evident how much the teammates enjoyed spending time with one another. Coach Gentilli asked for (and was granted) the opportunity to stay in Milwaukee from Wednesday to Saturday if the team kept winning...and they did! That camaraderie certainly seemed to help this team.
Congratulations to Coach Gentilli and his Sugar River Raiders! It is the first Sugar River state championship since the boys Division 2 Track & Field title in 2012.
