Bagwell shot a perfectly placed assist from forward Tyler Lippens. Greenwood
placed 3 goals in six minutes of play to win the team's second state trophy;
and

W

that requires speed and stamina, Head Coach Brian Vahjen and his dedicated
coaching staff maximized their own athletic ability and training to forge a
championship-caliber team and teach these athletes life principles that will
endure beyond the pitch. The Greenwood soccer team has brought a great deal of
pride and recognition to the school and the community, and the team can expect
many more wins in the days ahead. Now, therefore,
