GENTRY -- For the players on the 2015 state championship girls' soccer team it was another special night on Friday as they were again honored in a special ceremony before the football scrimmage and presented with their championship rings.
Coach Fabrizio Campagnola presented the rings to the players, one-by-one, in the pregame ceremony in Pioneer Stadium as their names were announced. The girls smiled and unboxed their rings and put them on in celebration of their success on the soccer field.
Though not all the players could be there, most were and some who graduated last spring returned for the honor and public presentation.
The soccer team carried on fundraising activities over the summer to help pay for the rings so that none of the team members would be left out.
The girls took first place in state playoffs last spring in a phenomenal performance, holding most of their opponents scoreless and defeating Central Arkansas Christian, 2-0, in the championship game.
