The Pocahontas County High School Lady Warriors soccer team played and won two games at home last week, extending their winning streak to six. Furthermore, the Lady Warriors, coached by Shannon Arbogast, are currently ranked #6 in West Virginia in class AA-A.

In soccer, teams from double A schools and single A schools are combined into a large class “AA-A,” which includes 46 teams from public and private schools. The only AA-A teams ranking higher than the Lady Warriors are from four class AA schools and one private school. Therefore, the Lady Warriors are the #1 class A public school soccer team in the state.
