I talked to new Glacier Peak boys soccer coach Shannon Murray on the phone this afternoon (Friday). Here are some details about him. Check The Herald on Saturday for more info about Murray.
Shannon Murray was named head coach of the Glacier Peak High School boys soccer team on Thursday. The 38-year-old Snohomish resident previously assisted coach Dan Pingrey at Snohomish High and also coached Snohomish United and Evergreen Soccer Club select teams.
Murray replaces Daghan Kesim, who coached Glacier Peak in its inaugural season and resigned in July. Class 3A Glacier Peak plays in the 4A/3A Wesco South.
“There’s good soccer players, as per the old tradition of Snohomish High School. I think Glacier Peak’s got that potential as well,” said Murray.
Murray, an insurance agent, graduated from Marysville-Pilchuck High in 1989. As a midfielder he played soccer for M-P, the University of Washington (1989-1992) and two professional teams: the Seattle Sounders and the Seattle SeaDogs.
