South Oldham High School celebrated its girls soccer program’s recent state championship on Monday morning in the school’s gymnasium. The Lady Dragons beat Elizabethtown 5-0 on Saturday in the 2022 KHSAA State Championship Game. “We know that the people of the past have done extraordinary things,” said South Oldham head coach Kenneth Burke. “And it’s our job to uphold that standard.” The Lady Dragons did just that by capturing the program’s eighth state championship. The eight state titles are the most of any girls soccer program in the state of Kentucky. “Coming into this program, we see the seven stars and that’s what you know you’re working for,” said South Oldham midfielder Betsy Huckaby. “And just to get one (star) ourselves is just really special.” It was the first state championship for the program since 2014. The Lady Dragons had come close since then, most recently falling in the state title game in 2021. “The work started the day after we lost last year,” said Burke. “I promise you that we wouldn’t be here if we didn’t lose last year because they had to go through that process to see what it was like to see what it took to get there.”
