All-Stars To Reassemble Thursday June 26th

Well, as at least one fan noted, I probably jinxed us tonight with my earlier post about a little rain not stopping us. After our third delay due to lightning, we called the girls game this evening shortly before 8pm with only one half completed. The feedback of the players and the fans is the games must be played so we have rescheduled both the girls and boys games for next Thursday, June 26th.

Thursdays storms dump record rainfall on Springfield

We’ll play the girls game at 6:00 pm and the boys at 8:00 pm as originally planned, at Lake Country Soccer. We’ll start over so the goals scored by Katie Pritchard (yeah, she’s still got it) and Brianna Ragains for their respective teams will be wiped from the record books and we’ll try again.

The gate will be on the honor system. If you have already paid, let us know and we’ll welcome you back. I will note that the gate is what allows Jeremy and I to put this game on, it pays for our time organizing the event. ‘Nuff said.

Thank you to our sponsors who’s support provides for the facility, the game shirts the players get to take with them to represent Springfield Soccer as they continue their playing days, and the programs.

Thank you to Cox Health and their Athletic Advantage program, Lake Country Soccer, the Springfield Demize, Coesters Restaurant, The Copy Shoppe, J&K Soccer, Baywash Car Wash in Cassville as well as Rick & Tami Dorman and the Booster Clubs at Kickapoo, Glendale, Catholic and Ozark. Thanks as well to the Opfer family, including Scott, Tracy, Austin, Alix and Kasey; The Melugin family, including Phil, Kim, Megan and Miriam; and the Bailes family, including Scott, JoAnn, Allie and Mandy.

Thank you to our referees, trainers and volunteers. Zack Larsen heads off on vacation so our fine MSU Events intern will miss the beautiful game as it’s played here. If you’d like to learn about the advantages of adding an MSU student intern to your next event, contact me and I’ll fill you in on my experiences this year with two different events.

See you next Thursday. Players – contact me to confirm your availability please!
