In each of the past three postseasons, Morgan’s championship hopes were cut short by Region 13 rival Ogden.
The Trojans fell to the Tigers in the state tournament in 2021, 2022 and 2023, with 2021 and 2023′s losses coming in the championship game.
Morgan was unwilling to lose yet another state championship at the hands of Ogden Saturday as it prevailed 2-1 over the Tigers in this year’s 3A title game.
“They’re a good team, and we go at it in our own region,” said Morgan head coach Bryan Searle. “It’s great that we get to play them, but unfortunately, (Ogden’s) Kate Foley wasn’t there. That’s a little bit of a down for them because she’s such an incredible player, but to beat them anytime, we’ll take it any day of the week.”
He continued, “It’s been four years since we’ve won it. They’ve been here a couple of times, and I think they just wanted it.”
