Category 5 Hurricane HQ – 2026

 Wednesday, August 19. 2026 BOYS’ SOCCER SEASON NEARS
Head Coach Jeremiah Wohlgemuth will put this year’s Hurricanes through 2½ weeks of training, conditioning, and technical workouts beginning next Monday, August 24 in preparation for the upcoming 2026 boys’ soccer season.
 
Wohlgemuth is expecting to greet 25 participants, who will be contending for Varsity roster spots.
 
MVC graduated the goal scoring of forward Sean Russell, the unwavering presence and leadership of midfielder Lane Tenborg, the strong in-net play of goalkeeper Logan Mounts, and the energy and eagerness of reserve Aaron Tueitjer. Despite those departures from last season’s strong Third-Place State 1B/2B finish, Coach Wohlgemuth eagerly welcomes back eight Varsity starters and ten other players from the 2025 roster, along with a handful of talented incoming participants.  The Hurricanes should find themselves among just a handful of top-tier schools statewide again this fall.

Wohlgemuth and his players most likely be spending preseason turnouts getting comfortable in a variety of positions, while again developing a cohesiveness, and adding depth among the team’s reserves before their non-league season opener on September 10.
 
“While it might be convenient to lament over the quality of student-athletes we lost to graduation, we return a well-rounded group of young men ready and able to step up with continued success and achievement,”  Wohlgemuth recently shared.

Last spring, the ten soccer schools that make up WIAA’s District One decided to adjust their approach to non-league matches between themselves. This fall, the top five schools over the past two seasons – Orcas Island, MVC, Friday Harbor, Lopez Island, and Providence Classical Christian will play one another as part of their non-league schedules. The other five schools – Coupeville, La Conner, Grace Academy, Cedar Park Christian-Lynnwood, and Evangel Classical School will do the same among themselves. Thus far, MVC also has a non-league match schedule in Spokane with Saint George’s. Non-League matches will happen September 10-26.
 
During the last days of September through late October, MVC will face all nine of the District One schools in matches that will count toward postseason seeding into the combined Northwest District One/Sea-Tac District Two Tournament, which begins the first week of November.
 
Another change that spectators will see on the field is how matches conclude. There will be no more overtimes or shootouts during any soccer matches until the postseason. This aligns the Northwest League/District One with the majority of WIAA soccer leagues in all classifications, NFHS, and the NCAA. The change is designed to prioritize player health, reduce cumulative physical fatigue, injury risks, and accept that a hard-fought draw is a valid outcome after regulation time.
 
Both actions (the District One realignment of non-league matches and adopting the way matches end), should also have a positive impact on RPI rankings.
 
When asked about these soccer tweaks, Wohlgemuth said, “Change is good. At least in this case, aligning with other districts and associations is a positive move towards cohesion, and the adjusted approach to the league schedule is a great way to ensure for better competitions for all the member schools.”
