Minot High’s girls soccer program continues to dominate North Dakota’s postseason landscape, earning its twelfth consecutive berth at the state tournament — the second‑longest active streak in the state. The team, known as the Majettes, has reached the championship game six times in the past decade and captured three titles, a run that began when the current seniors were merely seventh‑graders in 2021.
What sets this year’s squad apart is not just longevity but consistency. In the regular season, the Majettes posted the second‑most goals in the Western Dakota Association while surrendering the fewest, underscoring a balance of offensive firepower and defensive solidity. Their seed, the west two‑spot, pits them against West Fargo Sheyenne in the quarterfinals, a matchup that will be played Thursday at 6:45 p.m. in Bismarck.
Senior defender Camdyn Varty, who has been a stalwart at the back for the past four seasons, spoke about the weight of expectation that comes with the program’s reputation. “Every time we step onto the field, there’s a sense that we have to keep the streak alive,” Varty said, noting that the seniors feel the pressure of concluding their high school careers on a high note.
Forward Jayva McKibben echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the team’s focus on taking each game as it comes. “We’re not looking past any opponent,” McKibben remarked, “Our goal is to stay present, execute our game plan, and let the results follow.”
A Legacy Built on Persistence
The Majettes’ journey reflects a broader narrative of sustained excellence in high school sports, where early‑career successes blossom into lifelong memories for the players who experience them. As the team prepares for the quarterfinal, the community watches closely, hopeful that the tradition of championship contention will continue to inspire the next generation of Minot athletes.
