Girls Varsity Soccer Champions - Skyview High School

Skyview (HS) High School is located in the area north of Vancouver, Washington.  It is located in the northwest unincorporated suburbs of Vancouver, called Salmon Creek.

Our grand daughter, Makenna Flinn, plays center defender (#16) on the Skyview HS Girls Varsity Soccer Team.  She plays the entire game, every game. She is a Junior. She is an A grade student.

The Skyview Girls Varsity Soccer team went undefeated in 2024.
Overall Record of  11 - 0 - 3  Conference  5 - 0 - 1
The Skyview Girls Varsity Soccer Team won the District Championship of the 4A Greater St. Helens Athletic District in the State of Washington.
The last time Skyview HS  won the GSHAD Championship was in 2014.

The Skyview Girls Varsity Soccer Team fielded a very stingy defense - the best in the league.
The defense recorded eight shoutouts, and gave up only 8 goals all season.
The defense never gave up more than 2 goals in a game.
All players pitched in on defense!
The three main defensive players, who played the entire game every game were:
Brynnlee Williams    Goalie                  Junior
Makenna Flinn          Center Defender  Junior   # 16
Quinn Lundy            Wing Defender     Junior   # 19

The Skyview offense was quite powerful at times, and tallied 57 goals in the season. Only six of the games were close. Some of their wins were by wide margins, e.g., 8-0.  Rotations of mid-fielders and striker forwards were frequent, keeping players fresh, strong, and fast. Standouts on offense included Dea Covarrubias, Mya Ellertson, Bella Town, and Cameron Watson.

This team 2024 team had four seniors on the entire roster.
Many of the team members have played together since elementary school at Chinook Elementary in Salmon Creek on the local league team called "The Nemesis."  Karen and I have attended scores of Nemesis soccer games in the last 7 years.

First year Head Coach was Matt Houghton, and his Assistants were Nello Picinich, Mackenzie Ellertson, and Samantha Schoene.

Overall 2024 Record of  11 - 0 - 3  Conference  5 - 0 - 1
57 Goals Scored by Skyview. Only 8 Goals Scored Against Skyview.

Karen and I attended eight of these Girls Varsity Soccer Games.  We went out to dinner with Makenna's parents (Alicia and Sean) and her other grandmother (Beryl) before three of the games. We got to meet many parents of the girls.  

We visited some of the big stadiums in the area, e.g., Battleground, Richfield, Union, Camas, and the local Kiggins/Boggs Vancouver Field.

They The Skyview HS Girls Varsity Soccer Team will play their first State Tournament Soccer Game on November 2, 2024, at Skyview.
