KW Soccer Teams Qualify for State, NC Teams Fall Short

The Kelly Walsh soccer team will be headed to Jackson to the state tournament next week while the Natrona teams suffered excruciating losses in the 4A West regional tournament in Casper to eliminate those teams. The Kelly Walsh boys finished first in the 4A West during the regular season, so the Trojans got a 1st round bye and an automatic bid to the state tournament. KW will play Green River in the 2nd round at noon on Friday. The Kelly Walsh girls punched their ticket to state with a 3-0 win over Evanston in the opening round of regionals. Noelle Vigneri scored once and Nicole Klungness found the net twice. The Lady Trojans face Jackson in the 2nd round at 10am. The Natrona Boys lost to Jackson as the Broncs scored in the last second of the 2nd overtime. The Mustangs finish the season at 4-9-1. The Natrona girls dropped a difficult 1-0 decision to Star Valley in round one of regionals. Star Valley scored in the first half and made that goal stand-up. The Fillies season comes to an end at 2-9-4
