The Thunder Mountain girls’ soccer team put together perhaps its best performance to date on Saturday’s senior day at Thunder Mountain High School, but it wasn’t quite enough.

Two defensive miscues midway through the second half allowed Ketchikan to score two easy goals and break open a scoreless tie on the way to a 2-0 Kings’ win to end the regular season.

The Falcons were unable to get a win for the second consecutive year, but optimism is high around what is a young core of players.

Thunder Mountain sprinter Donald Stokes never saw this coming.

The senior captain and anchor never thought he’d see, week after week, himself and teammates Alex Tracy, and Josh and Ray Jones owning the fastest 4-x-100-meter relay time in the state of Alaska.

“We’ve gone a lot further than any of us thought,” Stokes admitted. “We always thought, ‘Oh man, we’re running against (Juneau-Douglas),’ even though we know we’re running against ourselves.”

It’s been a much-needed break for the Juneau-Douglas girls’ soccer team, but the Crimson Bears were back at work in a big way on Tuesday night.

Thunder Mountain, on the other hand, returned from a recent road trip to Anchorage, seemingly much better for the experience. The Falcons’ defense held down the JDHS offensive attack for much of the first half, only allowing two goals before intermission.
