Gillette fell short of making school history on Saturday, May 22nd, after they lost to Laramie 2-0 in double overtime. The Camel girls soccer team have yet to win a state title and were upset by the Plainsmen in the state championship for the second straight year. “It’s like déjà vu and feels the same as last year,” said senior Libby Storie.
Sophomore Karen Storie added, “It is so frustrating and hard losing in the championship.”
Others came off the field with a positive look of the game. “We gave it everything we had,” said sophomore Erin Thamm.
“It was pretty disheartening when we lost, but we all played hard. It just didn’t seem to click,” added junior Missy Schultz. “We were super nervous and just couldn’t calm our nerves.”
Along with Schultz, Karen Storie, Kayla Corcoran, Angie Benson, Brittany Lacek, and Sheree Small all earned first team All-State. Libby Storie was named second team All-State.
The Camels went 13-3 overall during their season, losing just one game in conference play. “Even though the outcome of the championship game wasn’t what we wanted, our season was very successful,” head coach Carl Matson said. “I’m looking forward to next year.”
The team loses its strength with three seniors leaving. However, plenty of depth with the returning underclassmen almost ensures a great 2011 season.
