Dear Parents, Alumni, Students and Friends,

The 2013-2014 school year was a tremendous success. Our girls soccer, boys soccer, boys basketball, football, baseball, boys golf all made it to the semi finals of the North Coast Section. Boys basketball and boys golf won NBL titles. Five of our team sports made it to the North Coast Section and several individuals competed in the NCS/CIF Championship series including cross country, swimming, track, badminton, and wrestling.

So many life lessons are taught through athletics: discipline, teamwork, and sportsman-ship to name only a few. While nurturing our program and developing lifelong memories, we, as a board, invite you to participate so that you, too, will have a direct impact on our school through the athletic life of all of our children.

I cannot overemphasize how parental involvement is the key to establishing a tradition of successful support provided by the booster club. Over the past year, with strong parent and community support, we have been fortunate to assist Montgomery athletics physi-cally and financially, contributing $116,000, and we thank all those individuals who have donated their time, talents, and resources for our school.

By joining the Montgomery Athletic Booster Club, members receive a booster card that gives you entrance to all home non-playoff games and a discount at away games. Our goal is 100% membership and representation of all of our athletes. Membership informa-tion can be found at our website: montgomeryvikingsathletics.com. We welcome you to attend one of our monthly meetings held the second Monday of every month, 7pm in the Viking Room.

In addition, we are now offering a monthly support program. For a mere $10 per month, you can support the athletic program and assist in providing the best student athletic program possible.

On behalf of the Montgomery High School Athletic Booster Club board, we thank you for supporting our efforts in contributing to the success of our student athletes. Have a great 2014–2015 year!

We all know that a win/loss record does not always tell the full story, that was the case for this year’s Lady Viking softball team. Their overall record of 9-15 and a North Bay League recordof3-11isnotareflectionofhowwelltheVikingsplayed. Of the league losses, fivewere by one run and twoof thosewere in extra innings. Certainly one highlight was coming from behind against Cardinal Newmanwith three runs in the bot-tomof theseventh to takea3-2victory.Despite the losses,

fiveLadyVikingswere recognizedwithsecond-teamall-NBLhonors. They were: Haily Herrman, JT Arias, Jennifer Warner, SarahWikleandSophiaRowan.TheLadyVikingshaveseveral returning players next season and are looking forward to making tremendous strides. The team works hard and plays with great enthusiasm, and that is a combination that adds up to success. We look forward to watching the Lady Vikings compete with the best next year.

The girls volleyball team produced another outstanding year, as we have come to expect under the leadership of Head Coach Koy Stewart. The team finished with a tremendous overall record of 23-12 and a North Bay League record of 13-3. This record resulted in aNorthCoastSectionplayoffrun that ended in a nail-biting, five-set loss to league rivalMaria Carrillo. The Lady Vikings had three first-team all-NorthBayLeagueplayersinHannahMcGary,VioletJohnsonandMcKennaLaforge.Othersreceivingall-NBLhonorswereAlyssa Comb and Katie Kirk. Hannah McGary has signed a Letter of Intent to attend LaSalle University on scholarship. The team only graduated two seniors and had seven under-classmen who contributed heavily to the team’s success this past season. The future looks very bright for the Lady Vikings volleyball team.

The tradition of success for the Lady Viking soccer team is well documented and this past season was no exception. The Lady Vikings finished the season with an overall record of 19-3andaNorthBayLeaguerecordof12-2.InthepreseasontheybeatthenationallyrankedAltaHighSchoolofUtah1-0.TheiroutstandingregularseasonledtoagreatNorthCoastSectionplayoffrunwhichfoundthemintheNCSfinalsforthe12thtimeinthepast13years.Ahard-fought2-1lossendedthe Lady Vikings’ great season. Top players leading the Lady Vikings were senior Izzie Beal, junior Sarah Iroz and sopho-more Taylor Fager. Leading scorer was sophomore Taylor Ziemer who has made a verbal commitment to the number one ranked team in the country, the University of Virginia. Clearly the winning culture will continue under Head Coach Pat McDonald. Great job, Lady Vikes!

The Lady Viking Girls Tennis team had a great season under first year girl’s Head Coach, Sean Benoit. The team included a large number of participants with varying levels of experi-ence. This made the contribution of Assistant Coaches Mary Lehman and Marie Meredith invaluable to the growth of the team. The players were enthusiastic, responsible and very hard working. Highlights included very competitive matches withMaria Carrillo, Santa Rosa and Cardinal Newman. Thefinal result was an 8-6 record and 4th place finish in theNorthBayLeague.IndividualhonorsincludedaConsolationChampionship in theNBL Singles for AlexandraWoodwhodefeated her teammate Sami Eberhart in the finals.
