Steamers 09 Black are State Cup Finalists!

Steamers 09 Black are State Cup Finalists!  Congratulations to the Steamers 09 Black team and Coach Chris Blight!

The weekend saw some great soccer and tough matches for the Steamers.

The Steamers 09 Black team opened against eventual State Champions FC Montgomery and without Coach Chris... Coach Chris had double duty this weekend with the Steamers and Coaching the Oak Mountain Girls to a State Championship!  As Oak Mountain girls won their championship handily, the Steamers fought hard against a strong FC Montgomery team!  The game ended 0-3 in FC Montgomery's favour.

Coach Chris returned in the 2nd match to rally the Steamers to a 4-2 victory over Barber Elite, also from Montgomery.  The boys were on fire from the start scoring some amazing goals throughout the match... They played with heart, determination, and attacking soccer to overcome Barber Elite.

Heading into Sunday, the Steamers needed a draw to finish 2nd in round-robin play!  The Steamers faced Hoover-Vestavia 09 Boys in the 3rd game of the weekend... The game was a tough match for both squads with some quality soccer played... In the end, Steamers drew 0-0 with HVS... making the Steamers State Cup Finalists!

We are so proud of the boys and Coach Chris for all their progress, hard work, and determination this season and year!  Congrats Steamers!  Way to go!
