9/1/10 - MT Hood Challenge Cup

MRFC GU-13 Blue  wins big in Oregon in August.

Our girls started pool play with two games on Friday against Chinook Ice and Hillsboro United.  Both matches ended as 3-0 victories for MRFC with strong play from our defenders against two strong teams.  Saturday we met up with Williamette United and again came away with a 3-0 win with two goals two minutes apart early in the match.  The team played very purposeful soccer and looked forward to Sunday's final against Hillsboro United.  We knew that Hillsboro would be looking to get back at us from Friday's match and after a scoreless first half we were finally able to put a ball past their keeper.  The team did not sit back and continued to push as Hillsboro looked to equalize but a corner kick to the back post was perfectly headed in  to give us some insurance.  Two more goals followed to round out a 4-0 final and the championship.   

Our girls scored 13 goals from 10 different players over the 4 games and shutouts where shared between Caitlin and MacKenize who did a great job directing the defense.  It was great to see the team set their personal and team goals and achieve them.

6/29/10 - MRFC G98 Blue - "Champions" - Clash at the Border 

MRFC G98 Blue won the Clash at the Boarder Gold division Final in Camas Washington this past Sunday, besting Portland’s Blue Crush 3-1 in a very fast paced and exciting game. Both teams gave it everything they had on a hot humid day, right up to the final whistle. First half goals were scored by Hannah Schatz from a corner kick delivered by Hailey Brandner, Annie Smith unassisted and Jasmine Smith assisted by Sydney Cooke in the second half. The first half was a strong midfield battle with Sydney Cooke, Madalyn Landreth, Courtney Taylor, Annie Smith and Hannah Schatz controlling and pushing the ball forward to Anna Jennings, Grace Clapshaw, Jax Wetteland and Jasmine Smith, not allowing Crush to gain any offensive momentum. Crush was continually denied by the defensive work of Melanie Torr, Alex Wetteland, Hailey Brandner and Karina Provo as well as the sure hands of Goalkeeper Jamie Flynn. Head Coach, Steve Cooke, congratulated the continued hard work of the girls.  “Once again a true team effort brought them to the finals and the team skill and determination was what won it.”  Next stop the Oswego Nike Cup in Oregon in mid July. Good luck, girls!

4/27/10 - MRFC G98 wins US Club Washington Cup

MRFC G98 Blue (Cooke) won the US Club Washington Cup State Final at the Starfire Sports Complex this past Sunday besting ISC G98 ADP Red 1-0 in what turned out to be a very fast paced and exciting game with both teams giving it everything they had to the final whistle. Grace Clapshaw scored what would be the only goal 15 minutes into the first half with a twenty yard crossing shot into the back left corner of the goal.  The first half was mostly MRFC in control. ISC came out in the second half determined to make it a game and they did. The final ten minutes was a defensive battle from MRFC. Jamie Flynn, MRFC’s goalkeeper, and the rest of the defense came up big denying the hard pressing ISC offense. Head Coach, Steve Cooke, congratulated the hard work of the girls.  “It was a true team effort that brought them to the finals and the shear determination on the day that won it.”  The team is now slated to represent our region at the Mustang Stampede in Northern California in early August. Good luck, girls!  We will be watching and cheering!

3/7/10 -  2009/2010 Challenge Cup Champions!  MRFC B92 Blue

The MRFC B92 Blue coached by Mark Maxey took home the Challenge Cup Championship over the weekend.  The Boys got by the Redhawks on Saturday in the semifinal by a score of  2-1.  Bryant Maxey got on the scoreboard first with an assist from Tim Knoles.  At approximately the 15 min mark MRFC received a red card and were down to 10 men the rest of the way.  Shortly after the card, the Redhawks answered and tied the score at 1-1.  The teams battled throughout the game until Knoles found Maxey again with about four minutes left to lead the team to a 2-1 victory and a spot in the Final.

In the Final on Sunday, MRFC went up against ECFC.   Again MRFC got on the board first.  From about 40 yds out Dan Gunstone took a free kick that found the head of Joe Haynes for the first goal.  Again, like Saturday,  the opponent answered right back to tie the score.  Both teams battled until the 90th minute when the ECFC defense tried to pass back to their keeper who missed the ball and Joel Ogdon from MRFC took advantage and tapped in the game winner.

Congratulations to the entire team and coaching staff.  We are all very proud of you!!
