West Anchorage leads the Cook Inlet Conference DI football standings with a 6-1 record, followed by Service, Bartlett, and South Anchorage at 5-2 each. These results come directly from current conference data and show how local teams maintain consistent schedules.

High School Football and Soccer Infrastructure

The same venues that stage football games also support soccer matches in the Cook Inlet conference. Dimond ranks first with an 11-2-1 record, while West Anchorage sits second at 10-2-2. Shared fields and lighting allow both sports to run overlapping seasons without major scheduling conflicts.

Youth Soccer and Hockey Facilities

Boys 5/6 youth soccer standings list Next Up Green and Tru Game Wildcats at the top of their divisions with perfect 6-0 records. In ice hockey, South Anchorage holds a 22-0-2 mark last updated in April 2026, and West Anchorage stands at 16-7-2. Anchorage youth hockey programs from the 2025-26 season include the North Stars 14U AA team at 37-7-1 and the 12U AA team carrying a 90.49 rating. These programs rely on rinks and outdoor pitches that remain available for practices and games throughout the year.

Evidence from Current Records

The listed win-loss figures demonstrate steady participation levels. South Anchorage’s 22-0-2 hockey record and the youth teams’ perfect marks in soccer divisions were compiled through regular use of existing local sites rather than new construction. No specific capacity or upgrade numbers appear in the source data, so the pattern remains one of sustained access to fields and rinks already in place.

Teams continue to post these results because the underlying venues allow repeated home-and-away matchups within the Cook Inlet area. Residents who want to follow progress can check the same conference and ranking sites that publish the standings each week.
