Theory of a unified community...verified!

Cache Valley has something to be proud of! Two of the top U-12 girls State Premier teams (Anthony Larsons Soccer Academy team and Sherri Dever's Valencia team) united their effort and talent to form the “NEW” Infinity Soccer Club '97 team.

The first test of a united front has concluded, unity being the victor;

June 25th thru June 28th talented Coach Robson Chaves took Infinity SC '97 to the 5th Annual Steam Classic Tournament. Sporting their lime green jerseys, Infinity poured on the speed and tightened up the defense to go “beyond” the rest and walk away with the Championship trophies!

They conquered former State Cup Champion, Avalanche, with a 4-3 win their very first game. They then went on to beat top ranked La Roca 6-0 and Sparta White 10-0. As the top team in their bracket, Infinity played La Roca again in the semi-finals winning 4-1. With an upset in the other semi-final game, Sparta Blue earned the opportunity to face off with Infinity in the Championship game. Once again, Infinity dominated the field and showed everyone that Infinity SC '97 means business! With some exciting close calls, Infinity concluded the tournament with a 2-1 win. Infinity’s stellar defense and top notch keepers, Rebecca “Boo” Jenson and Viridiana Gomez, only allowed 5 goals in 5 games! The phenomenal offense shined with 26 combined goals scored on their opponents throughout the tournament!!

They truly are as Coach Robson says, “Super Infinito!” They strutted their stuff and made their stand. United they did the Brazilian victory dance shouting, “Ole Ole” on the field, ending the tournament and claming their first victory and 1st place trophies.

The girls are having loads of fun together as a new team and are gaining confidence in their teammates. Everyone can look forward to seeing Infinity SC97 match up with other State Teams in the La Roca Pioneer Cup over the 24th of July weekend.
