Central Kitsap loses in penalty kicks to Mountain View in 3A bi-district tournament
The Cougars fell, 3-2, in the first round of the bi-district West Central/Southwest 3A girls soccer tournament Saturday.
The Mighty Thunder had an answer each time Central Kitsap scored. Cami Castro gave the Cougars a 1-0 lead, and after a Mountain View goal, Autumn Mullins hit the back of the net. But Mountain View again tied it up just before the half, and the game would ultimately go to penalty kicks.
Delaney Homewood, Madison Forrester, Madisyn Diabo and Mullins scored, but the Mighty Thunder converted all five of their opportunities to take the match.
But with all except for three players returning next year, the future looks bright for the Central Kitsap girls program.
“I’m excited about the upcoming years,” head coach Keith Sargent said. “You look down the roster of, say, Gig Harbor with nine to 10 seniors, that’s a tough battle for us. This team will move on and will get stronger with the eighth graders we have coming in. I’m excited. This is a good strong program for the future.”
