~ 2001 Dawg Daze ~

 

The Mighty Bluebirds won their fourth consecutive tournament by winning the U-12 Dawg Daze Classic Tournament in Ft. Smith on September 15th and 16th. The Bluebirds scored 21 goals and allowed 0 on their way to four consecutive victories. This marks four tournaments now where the defense has not allowed a goal other than penalty kicks. Bethany Morrison did another great job at goalie making saves when needed and her good defense helped her not have to do that very often.

 

The outside fullbacks, Caty McMains and Kaylee Flowers, were their normal fantastic selves while Amanda Janton turned in another great tournament at sweeper. Abby Bloom, Courtney Sykes, and Rebekah Riner did a great job in the stopper positions and worked hard to keep the ball up field.

 

The Bluebirds play only three halfbacks because they are so tough and Caroline Benton, Annie DeCoursey, Calli Roberts, and LeeAnna Magrath all turned in a physical performance and distributed the ball extremely well throughout the tournament. Calli and LeeAnna each scored a goal as well.

 

At forward Erin Howland and Kelsey Hatcher led the way with five goals each and Kelsey added three assists to go with it while Erin added one assist. Tracy Powell and Katie Udron each contributed four goals with Katie Udron also adding an assist and one of Tracy Powell’s goals being the game winner in the final. Haley Whisenhunt added one goal and one assist during the tournament.

 

The Mighty Bluebirds will use the confidence from this tournament win to work even harder to build for the future.

 

Return to the top.
