What's Going On

Well it's been awhile since there's been a post and although there's still four months until the high school season starts the boys are plying their trade at the club level.

Seniors
Captain Jarad Brisbin accepted an invitation to play for Snohomish United and helped lead his team to an undefeated regular season league title. (10-0) Snohomish led the league in goals scored (32) goal differential (+29) and were tops in the league only conceding three goals.

John Zoulek has returned from injuries that have kept him out of the last two seasons. He played for the Sun City Strikers.

Captain Brandon Hale has taken a year off from club ball but continues to work out with a u16 team. As long as he stays healthy he will hold all the major goalkeeping records at Southridge when his career is finished.

Juniors
Bill Landefeld, Josh Mendoza, Zach Russell, Conner Cravens & Adolfo Garcia are playing for the u17 Three Rivers Celtic team that finished in fifth place (4-2-4) in the league table. This was Celtic's first year in premier one and they played really well only losing two games all season. Bill was the second leading scorer on the team with six goals. Celtic were tops in the league only conceding nine goals, no surprise that three of the starting four defenders were Josh, Zack & Conner.

Sophomores
Jake Zoulek, Chandler Mertens, Keaton Hale, Brandon T. & incoming freshmen play up Conner Mertens played for the u16 Three Rivers United team . United won five of their last seven games to finish in fourth place (6-5-1). Jake lead the team in scoring with 15 goals while Chandler pitched in with five, and Keaton added two. The Southridge trio accounted for 65% of United's 34 goals scored, which gave them the second most goals in the league.

Head Coach Chip Elfering stepped down from his duties as a coach with the Southridge football team and is a volunteer assistant for his wife Sara at Richland. This was Sara's first year as head coach and led RHS to a 15-4 record and won the CBBN league title.

Assistant Coach Riley Dodson coached his first year at the club level and his Three Rivers u14 girls team finished undefeated at 8-0-2 and won the league title. The "Rage" led the league in scoring with 35 goals, had the best goal differential (+30) while only conceding 5 goals all year.

So as you can see the players have stayed busy improving their skills, and are looking forward to high school ball. While the coaches have been busy with their off season duties they are now ready for the upcoming season and have high hopes for this years squad.
