 MESQUITE FIRE
U10
Mesquite
Fire is actually a Girl's Competitive Soccer Team for Mesquite Soccer
Academy. At this time, however, it is a coed team, with the
stipulation that there must be at least four girls on the field, during
the games. Once there are enough girls to make a full team of U10
athletes, it will revert back to an all girls teams.

The Mesquite Fire U-10 was the only team in
action over the weekend as the U-17 girls had a bye and the U-15 girls
were forced to reschedule due to the middle school Virgini a
trip. Several girls were missing and would have forced them to play short
handed. The scheduled double header will be played at a later date. Time
not certain yet.
The Mesquite Fire traveled
way north to Cedar City, Utah to play the Cedar Rush. When they arrived
they found that they were also battling Mother Nature. The wind was
outrageous. The young team had a difficult time in the first half
adjusting to the wind blown balls and the rush managed 3 goals (one great
goal and two with the wind for the assist). Keeper Jeremy Hunt did a great
job in the net battling both the Rush and the wind. The Rush led at half
time 3-0.

The second half was completely dominated by
the Mesquite Fire. The wind died down a bit in the first ten minutes of
the second half and the fire was attacking very well and the defense
awesome. The Fire scored with about seven minutes left in the contest off
of the foot of forward Christopher Poulsen, Christopher has shown great
improvement in his ball handling skills and his understanding of the game.
The assist for the goal came from halfback Keaton Ogden. The front line of
Fire had some great runs and shots on goal, however a pretty good goal
keeper and some smart play with the wind were enough to earn the win for
the Rush. MSA would like to thank the parents for the support of their
athletes, there were more fans on the Fire side of the field than on the
Rush side. Once again the kids did not disappoint, they always give it
everything and are more and more competitive each outing. Final Score 3-1
Cedar Rush. |
