A little closer to home, three Lady Chieftains were selected as part of Tulsa World’s Burger King All-World Girls Soccer.

Stormie Ramsey made honorable mention.

"I am so proud of what our girls accomplished this year! Getting 10 wins for the first time in 10 years is a big accomplishment," said head coach Lori Arundell. "Honors at the end of the season are a reflection of the entire team and what they did as a unit. I am excited for those girls that were recognized for their individual honors."

Congrats to all of our Chieftains!
