Congratulations to the FC United U9 Quickshots for taking the Bronze Medal in the U10 Girls Elite division at the 2013 State Games in Meridian, MS. The Quickshot’s grudge match against Brandon’s La Furia Roja ended in a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat in the semifinals. “It was everything a semifinal game should be,” said Coach Carothers. “Our girls fought through amazing heat against very tough competition. I am incredibly proud of the girls and all that they have accomplished.” The Quickshots went on to defeat the U10 Hattiesburg Destroyers 3-1 in the Bronze medal game. After 3 wins and only 1 loss at State Games the Quickshots ended their season with a 37-7-1 record, ranked 2nd in the State of Mississippi behind the only U9 team to beat the Quickshots, La Furia Roja.

Congratulations to SMSC’s U10 Boys Primary Division 2 Team – the FCU Rockachaws – for winning the Clinton Spring Classic Tournament last weekend in dramatic fashion – a shootout at the end of regulation! The team “weathered” the storm of the tournament – muddy fields, cold weather, and snow flurries! – not to mention a stout lineup of opponents. Winning their group stage with three wins and a draw, they faced the undefeated Clinton team in the final and rallied from a 3–1 deficit late in the second half to force the shootout. A stop on Clinton’s sixth shot by Rockachaw goalkeeper Walter Dyal secured the championship. Good job Rockachaws!
