Westminster-Oak Mountain coach Cody Baxter walked toward his bench after on-field interviews with reporters and was met by senior Aiden Gamble, who handed him the championship trophy.

“It’s yours,” Gamble said.

“It’s blue this time,” Baxter replied.

The Knights finally hoisted the Blue Map on Friday, following a state semifinal loss in 2023 and a championship game loss in 2024. Back at John Hunt Park for the third straight season, Baxter, Gamble and company earned a 6-0 victory over Oneonta in the Class 4A championship game.

“Now, here we are and we get to take it home,” Baxter said.

Oneonta (12-5-2) fell one win shy of earning its first boys soccer state title.

The Knights (20-5-1) scored twice in span of 2:40 early in the first half, built a 4-0 halftime lead and cruised to victory.

Tournament MVP Charlie Krulak scored three goals and added an assist, and Gamble added two goals. Luke Likens scored the final goal with two seconds remaining on an assist from David Bean. Jacob Dover and Likens also contributed an assist apiece.

Westminster goalkeeper Sam Carter made three saves and earned the shutout.

“We were going to be aggressive and go after it,” Baxter said.
