Man City will clinch its first top-level league title in 44 years with a win, while QPR needs at least one point (or a Bolton Wanderers loss or tie at Stoke City) to be assured of remaining in the EPL.

Manchester United, which plays at Sunderland, must do better than Man. City does against QPR to overcome City’s current edge in the tiebreaker which is an 8 goal differential.

There’s also a battle for the third and fourth UEFA Champions League berths among Arsenal, Tottenham and Newcastle United. (The third-place team earns qualification for the group stage, while the fourth-place team heads to the qualifying stage.)

Kindra Lierz, Glendale Falcons (2014)

Class 3
The Nerinx Hall Markers retain their #1 spot, with 6 of 8 votes for number 1. St Teresa Academy (KC) slips to #3 while Lee’s Summit North jumps up to #2 from #5. The Top 5 have separated themselves from the rest of the group. Eureka moves up to #6 from #9.

Glendale is ranked #13, the only program in Central and Southwest Missouri who are ranked. They appear to have a clear road to their third straight Final 4. They control their destiny at this stage.

Class 2
St Dominic and Visitation are locked into the Top 2 spots while Helias Catholic, in Jefferson City, have jumped up to #3. Villa Duchesne has moved into the #5 slot dropping Smithville down to #6. I picked Helias to advance to the Final 4 last year but it didn’t happen. This season they are in a stronger position to make the trip to Blue Springs.

Class 1
St Pius X moves up to #2, behind St Vincent while Principia has grabbed the #3 spot ahead of Springfield Catholic who are now #4. A big drop for the Southwest Missouri squad who are two-time defending champions. They will still make it to Blue Springs and the Final 4.

I asked Coach Joseph Florez of the Fair Grove Eagles to offer up a short summary of the season so far. I missed out on their inaugural year and was interested to hear how things were going. It should be noted that while they are actively competing, they are not yet eligible for Districts. I would expect them to be placed in District 12 in Spring 2013. Here it is for all of us to enjoy…

The Lady Eagles picked up their first Varsity win of the season at home, beating Dixon 3-2 in a hard-fought match. The Fair Grove Eagles are a first year team, with literally zero club experience. After the first two Fair Grove wins came against junior varsities early in the season, the Class 1 Eagles have struggled to score against a schedule full of almost entirely Class 2 and Class 3 schools, including two tournaments. The difficult schedule may have made things hard at times, regarding the wins and losses column, but it has clearly prepared the girls for solid competition.

Freshmen Jordan Robertson leads the team with six goals and one assist (two against Dixon). Captains Amanda McPhail (senior; front row, third from the left), Alyssah Orr (sophomore, second row, fourth from the left), and JoJo Hudgings (junior; back row, fifth from the left), have led the team up the middle, at goalkeeper, sweeper, and center-mid, respectively.

The Eagles are currently 3-11-1, and will return all but one starter next season.

It is the all-important semifinal stage where a win qualifies the U.S. for the 2012 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Azerbaijan. A loss would relegate the team to the third-place match, where the winner of that game would earn the third and final CONCACAF berth to the World Cup.

U.S. forward Summer Green (pictured) has nine goals in the tournament through three games, already matching the U.S. record for a U-17 World Cup Qualifying stage set by forward Lindsey Horan at the 2010 CONCACAF U-17 Women’s Championship in Costa Rica. Green will have two more games to eclipse Horan’s mark starting in the semifinal against Panama
