Soldotna Hosts Chugiak in Early-Season Conference Clash

The Soldotna Stars will welcome the Chugiak Mustangs on Friday, August 22 at 6 p.m. in a key early-season conference matchup. Both teams are entering the second week of the 2025 campaign, but they bring very different momentum into this contest.

A Tale of Two Starts

Chugiak (0-1, 0-1 conference) opened the year with a 36-23 road loss to North Pole, leaving the Mustangs still searching for their first win. Ranked No. 16 in Alaska and No. 7 in their class, Chugiak showed offensive balance—scoring 10 points in both the second and fourth quarters—but their defense struggled to contain North Pole’s attack.

On the other side, Soldotna (1-0, 1-0 conference) comes in with confidence after putting up a staggering 84-35 win over Palmer in their opener. The Stars are currently ranked No. 1 in Alaska and hold the top spot in their class as well as a national ranking of 3,685. Their offense exploded early, racking up 35 first-quarter points and never looking back.

What’s at Stake

For Soldotna, the matchup is about maintaining dominance. With a state-best ranking and a proven high-octane offense, the Stars will look to build momentum as they head deeper into conference play.

Kickoff is set for Friday, August 22 at 6 p.m. in Soldotna, where the Stars will try to defend their home turf while the Mustangs aim to pull off an early-season upset.
