The Mighty Bluebirds won their 25th consecutive tournament when they won the Blues City Blowout to start the season on March 19th and 20th. The Bluebirds outscored their opponents 20-0 throughout the tournament winning their first game over Tony Glavin White, MO 9-0, their second game over SMSC Crush, MO 6-0, their third game over Bryant Blue Thunder, AR 3-0, and defeating LRFC Blue 2-0 in the finals. The Mighty Bluebird Black team still remains undefeated lifetime against girls their own age and continues to only get better.

The Bluebirds won the tournament while continuing to develop players from the Orange team that have merged with the Black team to help get the team ready for 11 v 11 soccer. Virtually every player made a major contribution during the tournament. Haley Hatcher scored 11 goals during the tournament and was followed by Leah Riner, Lauren Ashburn, Annie Stafford, Larkin Hatcher, and Kelsey Smith with goals scored. Our defense once again proved to be too much for anyone to handle with Madison Lee turning in possibly her best performance of her career making some unbelievable saves. Haley Filat, Kelsey Smith, Leah Riner again anchored the defense which gave up no goals during the tournament. Rachel Rickenbach, Regan Ledbetter, and Sarenity Gomez made their first tournament debut for the Black team and were outstanding. Breanna Gordon and Lauren Ashburn also were solid and continue to improve each tournament.
