U18’s
Come Close to 3rd Consecutive State Sup Championship!
March 7, 2010 --
Our U18 boys
played in their 3rd consecutive state cup final two
weeks ago.
Our first half was
some of the finest football we’ve ever played.
Opponent (Wolves) scored with a
looping toe ball deflection against the run of play.
Midway through the second half, we equalized. We
had them on their heels. Then we let our guard down and
conceded two very weak goals.
Over the years, the boys have been in
the cup final for the State of Michigan 6 out of 7 years
they were eligible.
They were champions at U13 (GVP), U16
and U17. Runners up at U12 (GVP), U14 (GVP), and U18.
Next year, we will have 11 players
from this group move onto NCAA Div I, II, III and NAIA
schools.
We have 4 players still in high
school.
WE ARE VERY PROUD OF ALL OF YOU!
All the Best, Coach Lawrence

Boys U17, Two in a row, State Cup
Champions
(June, 2009) -
Vardar West won a hard fought victory over a tough
Michigan Rush Team. Score was 0-0 at half time.
About 15 minutes into the second half, Fred Smyser
played a great
through ball to Nermin Chrnic. Nermin scored
seconds later under by slotting the ball past on
onrushing goalie.
Rush continued to fight hard and were rewarded ten
minutes later after Jacob Karasiewicz of Vardar West was
taken down with no foul called. Rush converted an
easy header at the far post.
Vardar West pressed hard for the winner after the
restart. Ryan Conerty gathered the ball in
midfield, evaded some pressure and
hammered a powerful shot against the post. Jared
Love had moved up from the back line to win balls in the
air.
He coolly stuck the bouncing ball far post for the
lead. Rush once again pressured after the restart. Sean
Lewis, the Vardar West keeper came up big in the end to
preserve the victory.
The back line of Sean Lewis, Ty Fisher, Lawrence
Murray, Joey Uhl and Jared Love dug in to the final
whistle.
Great Job Boys!
