Steamers 10 Black are Hoover Invitational Tournament Champions!

Congratulations to the Steamers 2010 Black team and Coach Rusty Cowley on winning the U13 Hoover Invitational Tournament!  They defeated the Hoover Phantoms in the first game with a dominant 2-0 win. The second game was a hard-fought back-and-forth contest against a good Memphis IFC team. Zac Parks scored the first goal, but Memphis tied it up just before halftime. Parks scored another goal in the second half, but the Memphis team answered with their own goal. After a gritty effort from the Steamers, they ended with a draw at 2-2.  The Steamers faced Trussville Fire in the final and jumped out to an early lead with a goal from midfielder Zachary Phillips from just outside the 18, and quickly followed up with another goal from Zac Parks. Trussville was able to pull one goal back in the second half, but much credit goes to keeper Nolan Blackenburg and the defensive line for keeping their lead.  Congratulations on a great end to the season!  GO STEAMERS!
