The 2010 season was an incredible one for the Glacier Peak High School boys soccer team, which survived many close calls en route to winning the Class 3A state championship.
Although the Grizzlies caught some opponents by surprise last year, they won’t be able to do that this spring; state-title trophies tend to attract attention! Still, Glacier Peak has great expectations and — with 10 returning seniors and 13 total returners — the team appears to have enough talent and experience to defend its championship.
