One hundred coaching victories for SoHi head coach Galen Brantley, 52 straight victories for the Soldotna High School football program, and a 3-0 start to the 2017 season with all wins against Division I opponents; the SoHi Stars football program leaves no doubt as to the finest football program in Alaska.
SoHi 52 – South 7
The Soldotna Stars scored two touchdowns on their first three plays from scrimmage and the rout was on as SoHi dominated South 52-7 in non-conference football on Friday at Soldotna High School.
SoHi’s quarterback Brandon Crowder threw three touchdown passes and ran for a touchdown. Brenner Furlong rushed for touchdowns of 73 and 67 yards and amassed over 250 rushing yards.
