Pride, Prestige and Pursuit Progress to  State Quarter-Finals - 12/01/04

FCW's U14, U13 and U11 teams all progressed to the quarter final stage of the Snickers State Championship after playing preliminary round games during the month of November.  The U13 Prestige team came first in their bracket with wins over ESU Aston Villa and FC Portland Sage and a strong away tie with Bend Ice.  The U14 Pride team were 10 minutes away from winning their bracket but ended up in second place after a 0-1 loss to Lake Oswego Soul Crew.  The team had solid wins against ESU Real Madrid and PCU Matrix in their other games.  The U11 Pursuit team ended 2nd in their State Cup bracket after a tight loss to Bend Spirit and a win against THUSC Zinc.  Both opponents were Premier Gold league participants.  The U12 Primo team faced a tough bracket and were unfortunate not to progress to the next round after a loss to Premier Gold champions SSC Albion,  a win against Bend Reds and a tie against LOSC Thunder.  Quarter-Final stages of the State Championships are held in April of next year.
