Mount Vernon Christian Varsity Boys' Soccer

September 6, 2026. Questions and Answers with Coach Wohlgemuth.
Before their initial season opening, non-league matches this Thursday (in Bothell v. Providence Classical Christian) and Friday (on San Juan Island v. Friday Harbor), Head Coach Jeremiah Wohlgemuth took time to provide a bit of insight about the 2026 season. The Q and A with the MVC coach, who enters his eighth season at the helm, follows:
How has the team chemistry or leadership been during the preseason? Losing two distinct and vocal leaders has been very evident, but we have a good group of guys who are stepping up and using their God-given talents to lead the team this season.
Who are your top returning starters and key players to watch? I can’t begin to list individuals because I feel like I would need to mention every returner. All four starting defenders return and they led a defense that gave up less than a goal a game. Three or four starting midfielders return and they are very, very strong, along with two forwards with extensive experience. We also have a number of others who will be stepping up and into spots this season.
What are the team goals for this season? For as long as I have the blessing of being the coach of MVC, my sole focus will be on helping to shape the next generation of husbands, fathers, and community members. We will grow in our faith and leadership, and will use soccer as the conduit for accomplishing that goal. But make no mistake – I am competitive and I lead a group of very competitive athletes. Our on-field goal is the state championship, each and every year. I believe we have the young men to achieve that goal.
What key areas have been the focus of attention during the preseason turnouts thus far? Our defense is stout and experienced. We are focused on continuing the legacy of masking the other team out of our goal and have spent a large amount of time on attacks and the final third.
What do you see are the team’s biggest strengths this year? Our strength is that we are very well-rounded. Our defense should be a strength, but I believe our midfield and forward group are as good as any in the state.
What are you planning as your tactical identity or style of play this season? We have talented players in the middle and final third of the field who can dominate. Some of these young men have been playing together for ten years and their chemistry is evident. We will have the ability to strike quickly and with precision, as well as methodically and with patience.
Who do you see as the main schools as being most competitive this season in the league and from around the State? As per usual, Orcas Island and Friday Harbor will be very competitive within our league. Providence Classical Christian and Lopez Island should also be strong. It will be a good test to see Saint George’s (Spokane) early, and beyond that, I think it’s a wait and see.
What areas do you need to improve most on during the non-league matches before your first league/district match? Chemistry, communication, and camaraderie will be a focus, as will strengthening our keeper position.
What are you most looking to or most excited about from the squad this season? This is a group who I’ve coached, mentored, and have been very close family with for several years. I’ve got three of my own boys on the team, but they all feel like family. They compete, they love, and they’re wonderful young men.
What do you want MVC boys’ soccer program supporters to know and be reminded about regarding the upcoming season? Every year and every group has the responsibility and opportunity to add to the legacy that has been established by each group before them, and we’re proud and honored to have the chance to continue that tradition.
