Having upended Stillwater 25-16, 25-15, 25-22 in the
OSSAA Class 6A state championship match, the 32-3 Wolves claimed their second straight big school state championship, the seventh state volleyball title in school history, earned the No. 33 ranking in
MaxPreps' National Rankings and played their way into the
MaxPreps Xcellent 25 Writers' Poll at No. 22!
The Tour of Champions arrived on campus Friday, ready to present the Wolves with the prestigious honor, but first announced that Edmond Santa Fe concluded the season ranked in the Top 50 nationally out of 20,000 high schools. With the news, students and parents alike cheered in excitement.
MaxPreps representative Jeremy Tims was on hand to honor the Wolves for winning the state championship and for being one of just 10 volleyball programs across the nation to receive the highly acclaimed Army National Guard national ranking trophy. Tims introduced Oklahoma Army National Guard Sergeant First Class Travis Stoeser, who discussed the shared values of the Army National Guard and a state championship volleyball team.
SFC Stoeser then presented the ‘Minuteman' trophy to head coach Will Ethridge and the Wolves. Following the presentation, the Edmond Santa Fe volleyball team headed back to the lobby to don their commemorative TOC t-shirts and take a few pictures with family members and friends. Congratulations to Coach Ethridge and the Lady Wolves on your memorable championship season! We look forward to many more! Click
