For the first time in the school's history, two girls sports programs claimed state championships in the same season.
In the past, South River's girls sports teams have come awfully close to claiming a two-title season. Back in 2005, the Seahawks' field hockey team won the title, but the girls soccer squad fell short in the championship game. However, last week, the local school community saw both those teams claim championships, allowing South River to claim it has one of the most impressive girls sports programs in the state—at least for now. The field hockey squad soundly defeated Catonsville High 6-0 last week. That performance was followed up and matched by the girls soccer team, which won a state title of their own in penalties against Bethesda-Chevy Chase High on Saturday. For the girls soccer team, the championship was its first since back-to-…
