~ 2001 U12 Jaguar Classic Cup ~
 
 
The Mighty Bluebirds won their 10th tournament and their 5th tournament in a row September 29th and 30th at the Jaguar Tournament in Little Rock. The Bluebirds outscored their opponents 36 to 1. The only goal given up in the tournament was when the Mighty Bluebirds did not have their full array of defensive players in the game as the regular defense shut out all opponents throughout the tournament again.
 
The Bluebirds won their first game against the Cabot Lady Venom 7 to 1, their second game against River Valley Flames from Russellville 13 to 0, in game three they beat the Oklahoma Flames 14 to 0 and in the final the Bluebirds won 2-0 over the Lady Storm scoring one goal in each 10 minute over-time period.
 
On defense Bethany Morrison again turned in a wonderful performance at goalie stopping every possible shot she could have during the tournament. Kaylee Flowers, Caty McMains, Amanda Janton, Abby Bloom, and Courtney Sykes were splendid again on defense making it almost impossible to score against the Bluebirds.
 
At halfback Annie DeCoursey played her best tournament ever scoring 2 goals, and had an assist, and played with toughness and courage not seen by many 12-year-old girls. She played the final 50 minutes of the tournament with a broken left toe, but gutted it out to help the Bluebirds to victory. Caroline Benton at center halfback scored 8 goals and 1 assist and LeeAnna Magrath added 1 goal and 1 assist as well to provide the Bluebirds with the toughest midfield in the state.
 
At forward Kelsey Hatcher led all scorers in the tournament with 9 goals and 4 assists including the game winner to break the 0-0 deadlock in the final against the Lady Storm. Tracy Powell added 3 goals and 4 assists including both assists in the final game. Haley Whisenhunt scored 5 goals with 3 assists, Erin Howland scored 2 goals with 1 assist, and Katie Udron scored 3 goals and added 3 assists.
