U19 Nomads Thanksgiving Showcase Champions
The Comeback Kids
Second Chapter
The SWSC BU19 Premier had a special Thanksgiving treat for the club and their families by winning the Nomads Thanksgiving Showcase that ranks as one of the top tournaments in the US. The team started the tournament by winning their 3 bracket games: CRSC Brigade, 1-0; Edison Tigers from North, 1-0; and Forest FC, 3-0. In the Quarterfinals they beat Necaxa, 4-0; Semifinals beat PSC Thunder, 3-0; and in the Finals the team beat a great team from Washington, FC United, 3-1. The team built more confidence with each game. They played 6 games in 3 days and outscored their opponents by a 15-1 margin. The key to the team’s success was they established a great deal of teamwork, commitment to the game plan, positive attitude and fun. SWSC is proud of our BU19 Premier success this year and wish them the best of luck in pursuing their college dreams.
U19 players are: Joseph Arguello, J.J. Brownell, Blake Etherton, Justin Etherton, Jeremy Glauser, Hugo Gonzalez, Otis Holt, Kyle Jordan, Scott Moll, Brandon Nelson, Albert Racca, Adam Raish, Nick Sisko, Enrique Vazquez, Blaine Smith, and Ryan Guy. The U19 team is coached by Khalid Al Shafie and assisted by Ken Smith.
The team will take some time off and then will resume practice in March to get ready for the College Classic in April in Temecula, and the National Cup in June.
