The 2019 Middle School soccer season concluded last evening with a great match up in the Small Division featuring the Kingsbury Falcons against the Memphis Business Academy Execs making their first appearance. This was sure to be a good game given that both teams were #1 and #2 in their division. MBA was undefeated in league play this season with only 1 tie, while Kingsbury’s only loss was to MBA. It was a fast paced game with MBA scoring first early in the 1st half. Despite Kingsbury’s best efforts they finished once again as runner-up as MBA scored a late goal in the 2nd half to win their first title. The game MVP was Jorge Moreno, the Execs are coached by John Laubscher. MBA will represent SCIAA in the West Tn Sectional this Saturday at Crump Stadium.
In the second match of the night, Hickory Ridge and White Station met once again. There’s a lot of history between both of these teams and the coaches have a lot of respect for each other. The Wildcats were runner-up in last year’s championship but brought a group of kids ready to bring the title back home. This game was slower paced but the Wildcats scored first. A lot of credit has to go to their keeper because he kept shutting out the Spartans best attempts. White Station made some great plays and had a lot of opportunity but they just couldn’t get passed the hands of Oziel Hernandez. After another late goal, Hickory Ridge went on to win the Large Division Championship. As you may have guessed it the game MVP was none other than GK Oziel Hernandez. The Wildcats are coached by Eric Garner. Both the Spartans and the Wildcats will be playing in the West TN Sectional on Saturday at West Collierville Middle School.
Congratulations to both teams and all participants throughout this soccer season!
