See Alaska's most dominant program in action last season against Kodiak.The ticket to being named the most dominant school in Alaska since MaxPreps became America's source for high school sports is to win lots of state titles. It's safe to say Soldotna did just that.
The Stars have grabbed the ultimate prize an amazing nine times since 2006, creating a lead that no other school even comes close to. And the worst they have ever finished in the computer rankings is sixth. Good luck catching up with that, everybody else.
