pres cup logoGood luck to the Knights who are en route to Raleigh, NC where they will participate in the President’s Cup National title games this weekend. The boys will play against the regional winners from the other 3 regions on Friday and Saturday with a Title and Consolation game scheduled on Sunday. Here’s the calender for the weekend.

Friday 8:00 – U14B Rolla Knights vs Wilson Jr SC (PA)

Saturday 15:00 – U14B Rolla Knights vs Los Alamitos Titans (CA)

Note – the U15B Scott Gallagher squad also qualified and will be playing at the same time as the Knights. Their opponents include Lake Grove Vipers (NY), Thunder United (TX) and Santa Barbara SC (CA). The Title and Consolation games will be played at 10am on Sunday.

The boys qualified at the US Youth Soccer Region 2 President’s Cup tournament in Madison Wisconsin, where they finished with a record of 2-1. They defeated the Jr. Irish Soccer Club U14 boys from South Bend, IN 1-0, the Little Illini Soccer Club U14 boys from Champagne, IL 2-1 and lost to the Croatian Eagles Soccer Club U14 boys from Milwaukee, WI 3-2. Their overall record for the season is 19-1-1 and we have won each event we have entered so far.

The US Youth Soccer Presidents Cup provides a progressive, competitive experience to US Youth Soccer teams from the state to regional to national level. The Presidents Cup gives players an additional opportunity to compete against teams from across the country at a high level for the joy and the challenge of the game. It provides the chance to experience a unique US Youth Soccer event with camaraderie, community and competition through sport.

I shot some video at a friendly game that the Knights played this past Sunday against the Springfield SC U14 boys team that lost in the semifinals of the recent State Cup to the State Champion St Louis Scott Gallagher Academy team. That team also won Regionals and will be playing in the National finals later this month.

More information can be found at the US Youth Soccer site.

Under 17 *(KY) Javanon 92s

Under-14 Boys
A single goal would again be the difference in who would claim the regional title in the Under-14 Boys with St. Louis Scott Gallagher’s Keith Grieshaber’s early goal in the 12th minute spoiling the Michigan Wolves’ hopes of a second regional title with the 1-0 Gallagher win.

Under-18 Boys
Javanon 91 looked to match their younger side’s success as the Under-18 Boys played (MO) St. Louis Scott Gallagher in the finals. Both sides would battle to maintain possession and the intensifying heat. Despite a handful of scoring changes, the scoreless tie would remain through the end of regulation. In overtime, Javanon’s Vinicius Paiva would break through and claim the game winner in the 94th minute as Javanon defeats Scott Gallagher 1-0.

Under-19 Boys
(MO) St. Louis Scott Gallagher faced (IN) Pike Indy Burn in the Under-19 Boys final. Both teams looked to close out their youth careers with a trip to the national championships and a chance to hoist the storied James P. McGuire Cup as the Under-19 Boys national champs. Indy Burn’s Isang Jacob, 2008 US Youth Soccer adidas Boys Coach of the Year, would lead his side to victory thanks to a Matthew Hedges goal in the 78th minute that places Indy one step closer to the McGuire Cup as regional champions in the 1-0 final.

The scoreless tie quickly turned into a 2-0 lead for Gallagher thanks to goals from Alexandria Massey and Rachel Kibby in the 25th and 27th minutes respectively. Kibby made the most of a ball that landed to her foot from close proximity for the insurance goal.

Under-16 Girls
(MO) St. Louis Scott Gallagher looked to clinch another title in the Under-16 Girls but (OH-N) Cleveland FC had other plans. Down 3-1 in the second half, Abbey Stock looked to rally her Gallagher side in the 64th minute however Cleveland’s Kelsey Smigel scored in the 78th minute to complete the 4-1 Cleveland win over Gallagher.
