Grant-A-Week WINNER
South Queens Soccer Team

South Queens Junior High School Wildcats Girls "B" Soccer Team, Voila!

The "B" team is made up of girls who did not quite make the first cut for the "A" team. This often includes younger players and first time players (often, not always). The "A" team gets to wear the new uniforms, they get to take all their players on the bus, and they have a lot of competition and play a lot of games. You know something though? We did the absolute best we could, and we are sure proud of what we accomplished.

The girls are starting from the left, bottom row: Sarah, Ashley, Faye, Stephanie, Ashley, Becky, Michelle, Lauren. Top row: Amber, Arran, Sarah, Nizzy, Erin, Kayleigh, Justine, Lacey, Krystal.

We played in the rain, we played in the sun, and we played in cold weather. And you know what? We loved it. Soccer is the BEST sport, and baby, we played, and will continue to play! We had a great season this year, losing only 3 games! What we accomplished, with a coach who worked full time and had practices running into the evenings was more than anyone really expected, especially that "A" team. By the end of the fall everyone was pretty tuckered out, but what a feeling! Knowing that some of these players will go on to play in high school and hopefully university (because they sure have the drive and the talent) is a great pleasure and as always, the team is looking forward to the autumn of 2000 season.

With the money that the Nike grant-a-week program has given our team, we can have some really great soccer workshops, and maybe even use some of the money towards finally getting new uniforms (along with a whole lot of fundraising activities for that one!!!). We proved that though we were not chosen for the top team, we ended up on top! Thanks everyone for a great year, and heres to the future!!!
