High School Indoor League
Our annual High School Indoor League was once again a hit this winter. The league was filled of 150 players and 16 teams representing various school of Montgomery County. Koa’s High School Indoor League was the place to be this Winter! From the crack of dawn to mid afternoon, teams went head to head in a tournament-style bracket. Many teams in the area took the opportunity to grow this winter! Teams showed huge changes in development and team chemistry over the 6 weeks! Players played in 40 minute 5v5 games. Field hockey power houses Whitman, Wootton, BCC, and Churchill controlled the top, while an emerging Blair was not too far behind.
Champion Sunday lived up to it’s name! Teams came ready to play, filling the day with many close and fun games. Wootton Blue and Churchill Blue did not disappoint in the finals. Fast shots, great defensive plays and lots of determination filled the championship game. Wootton started the scoring and Churchill followed suit. After being a close game for about 10 minutes, Wootton turned up the heat and created a lead of two goals. The final score was 5-2 with Wootton reclaiming the trophy once again since their Championship first win in 2017. We wish all the girls luck this fall season! Thank you for allowing Koa to be a part of your indoor season growth! Montgomery county is going to be a powerhouse field hockey county this Fall! Congrats to all the honorable mentions and our 2019 champions!
