The East Grand Forks girls soccer squad is back in action, bringing back the core group that fought its way to the Section 8A championship game last season.
Among the returnees are track standouts Kinsley Beland and Jorja Perkerewicz, whose speed from the 4×400 relay will now fuel the team's offensive tempo.
Multi‑Sport Momentum
Coach Jessica Bina has long championed the value of multi‑sport athletes, and this year’s roster reflects that philosophy with players like Geena Jordheim, a three‑sport competitor whose track performances include a 13th‑place triple jump at the state meet.
Beland’s own track résumé includes an 11th‑place finish in the long jump and a 12th‑place showing in the 400‑meter preliminaries as an eighth‑grader, underscoring a blend of youthful promise and seasoned poise.
The Green Wave opens the season against St. John’s Prep and Hibbing/Chisholm, matches that will test the newly forged chemistry before the team sets its sights on reclaiming the section crown that slipped away to St. Cloud Cathedral last year.
With a mix of fresh talent and veteran leadership, East Grand Forks hopes to translate its athletic versatility into another deep playoff run.
