96 Elite Girls Champions
at San Tan Holiday Classic
December 2006 - Congratulations to the 96 Desert Elite
Girls team winning the San Tan Holiday Classic U11 Gold
bracket. The girls continue their unbeaten and scoreless streak too 11
games, allowing no goals through the tournament with great defensive play.
The semis were won on the 9th pk, and the finals were a nail-bitter with a
tie game until the 57th minute when midfielder Anika Brock slipped one past
the goalie. The girls were motivated by a wager that coach Tony Vos loose
his curly locks if they won. No one was more excited than trainer Tamera
Hatfield who at the end of the game pretended to cut his hair. Great Job
Girls!!
