Cache Valley has something to be proud of! Two of the top U-12 girls
State Premier teams (Anthony Larsons Soccer Academy team and Sherri
Dever's Valencia team) united their effort and talent to form the “NEW”
Infinity Soccer Club '97 team.
The first test of a united front has concluded, unity being the victor;
June 25th thru June 28th talented Coach Robson Chaves took Infinity SC '97
to the 5th Annual Steam Classic Tournament. Sporting their lime green
jerseys, Infinity poured on the speed and tightened up the defense to
go “beyond” the rest and walk away with the Championship trophies!
They conquered former State Cup Champion, Avalanche, with a 4-3 win
their very first game. They then went on to beat top ranked La Roca
6-0 and Sparta White 10-0. As the top team in their bracket, Infinity
played La Roca again in the semi-finals winning 4-1. With an upset in
the other semi-final game, Sparta Blue earned the opportunity to face
off with Infinity in the Championship game. Once again, Infinity
dominated the field and showed everyone that Infinity SC '97 means
business! With some exciting close calls, Infinity concluded the
tournament with a 2-1 win. Infinity’s stellar defense and top notch
keepers, Rebecca “Boo” Jenson and Viridiana Gomez, only allowed 5 goals
in 5 games! The phenomenal offense shined with 26 combined goals
scored on their opponents throughout the tournament!!
They truly are as Coach Robson says, “Super Infinito!” They strutted
their stuff and made their stand. United they did the Brazilian
victory dance shouting, “Ole Ole” on the field, ending the tournament
and claming their first victory and 1st place trophies.
The girls are having loads of fun together as a new team and are
gaining confidence in their teammates. Everyone can look forward to
seeing Infinity SC97 match up with other State Teams in the La Roca
Pioneer Cup over the 24th of July weekend.
