After playing youth soccer in Coupeville, a family move took Emma Laurion to Crosspoint Academy, where she became an All-State player.
Coupeville faced two of the state’s best high school girls’ soccer players this past fall.
When the Washington State Soccer Coaches Association announced its All-State teams, Klahowya’s McKenzie Cook was tabbed as the 1A MVP and Crosspoint Academy’s Desere’e Doty topped the 2B/1B list.
Three players from Klahowya were honored, with Cook, a forward, being joined by midfielder Izzy Severns as First Team picks.
Defender Rachel Seidel was named to the Second Team, while Eagle coach Troy Oelschlager was picked as the 1A coach of the year.
Doty and fellow Crosspoint forward Emma Laurion, who played her youth ball in Coupeville, were both First Team picks, as was their teammate, defender Kalie Nation.
Both Klahowya and Crosspoint won state titles this season.
Coupeville played Crosspoint in a non-conference game set up to reunite Laurion with some of her former teammates.
The Wolves ultimately finished second in the 1A Olympic League behind Klahowya.
While they couldn’t derail the champs, who finished 21-2, the Wolves played them much more evenly than league mates Chimacum and Port Townsend, holding the Eagles to six less goals than either of those teams did.
