ROSEBURG, Ore. - Supporters gathered along Garden Valley Boulevard on Saturday morning to cheer on the Roseburg High School girls soccer team as it left town for the first state quarterfinal appearance in program history.
The November 7 sendoff was organized for 10:40 a.m. across from the Fred Meyer gas station. The team received a police escort through town as it headed to its quarterfinal match.
The Roseburg Receiver attended the sendoff, which gave the community a chance to celebrate the players and coaches before another important game in their postseason run.
