The greatest moment....
My boys give me the group hug thing.
STRYKERS, you all (past and present) have given me many memories that I will cherish for ever. Thank you.
Duke - Gage's Dad
Brenton Gets First Touch
G Looks Intense
You AREN'T Shooting on OUR Goal
John is Fixin' to Lay in to This One
There Goes Mike, Taking it up the Line
Calling For the Pass!!!!
Send it Down the Line
Tim is Tracking 'Em Down Again
Head Strong - Sending the Header Back to the Other Side
First shot.....GOOOOOAAAAALLLLL
The Howell keeper was good, but there was no stopping that ball. Over to the far post, and the total score is now:
MCSA '91 Strykers 4
Howell United Strykers 3
AND THE WINNER IS.............
With the score now, 6-5 in favor of the MCSA Strykers, each team has one more shooter. The pressure is on - if John can make the goal, we win, if he doesn't, the Howell Strykers have a chance to tie it up, and the shoot-out will continue.
John lines up...
He shoots......
GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLL THE STRYKERS WIN THE VIGINIAN
Good-bye Coach Duke
Thank you for making us CHAMPS !!!
Favored Ohio team watch John take over
First game was against the Internationals from Ohio. I don't think they told this kid who the Strykers were...as John strolls by and wins this ball
Mike has learned HOW to use his body
Picked as a "favorite" by Tournament Officials, the Internationals had no idea what was in store when trying to "win" a ball from Mike.
Gage makes a Critical Save on a Breakaway
The Internationals had a kid named Gage too! But OUR Gage came out strong to stop this Breakway attempt. After Gage blocked his first shot, the International player chased the ball toward the left side of the penalty box, and made a beautiful high, curling shot toward the near post. Running backwards, Gage made a terrific leaping save to flick the ball out of play
Triple Team on Brenton
You can tell that all 3 Heat Players are trying to anticipate where Brenton the Magician is going to go. The funny thing is, his feet are so quick that unless you have slo-mo instant reply, the only thing you will know is that he came out winning the ball.
Give n' Go
The entire Strykers team was in top form against the Heat. Winning 5 nil, is not a reflection on the Heat at all...they were a very good side. Instead, plays like this one:
...as Gage draws the double team, Mike sprints wide for the through ball to move on up the field...
WON this game!
NO FAIR!!!!
Any 1 player is going to have a very tough go taking on Brenton by himself. His quickness and ball skills will make your head spin. Here you can see Brenton is cutting behind this Fire player.
John can Dig-em Out as good as any
With "flames" on either side, John the "Fireman" comes out to send a ball across the front of the goal.
It takes 2 for Jordy TOO!!!
These 2 Fire defenders are VERY fast. But, everytime Jordy came around with the ball, it took BOTH of them to stop him. Jordy is BLAZING fast - 1 just couldn't do it alone.
Tim Skies to Wrap this one UP!!!!
Tim SNUFFS out the "FIRE OF HOPE" with this game tying shot attempt.
Coach John & the boys Celebrate the Semi Final
Our "Tournament TEAM" BEAT the SYC Fire in the Semi-Final match to send them home, and us to the U10 Premier Division Championship Game to "bring home some HARDWARE"!!!
The Chesterfield Flames won 3-1 - a VERY Strong side.
