Cape Giradeau Results

Another tournament, another successful weekend for the Union County Soccer League!

Let's go to the scoreboard:

First and Second Grade

I have to admit I didn't see the end of the boys' last game, but they were up 4-0 in the championship game versus Jackson County at halftime. I'm going out on a limb here but CONGRATULATIONS for another terrific tournament CHAMPIONSHIP. The boys beat Mineral Area 7-0, Perryville 3-0, and Cape Girardeau 5-1.


The girls' team played shorthanded all tournament and played hard, beating Perryville 7-0 but losing to Jackson County, Sikeston and Cape. FOUR games playing with NO SUBSTITUTES. Way to go girls...now go to bed.


Third and Fourth Grade Boys

The 3rd graders won the championship for the THIRD STRAIGHT tournament beating Carbondale, their arch-rival Sikeston, and Cape Girardeau, ending with a tie against Perryville. Final score: Union County 10-4.

The forth grade boys beat Jackson 6-1 and Sikeston Red 4-0, but lost to the club team from Farmington 0-2. The also were trailing in their last game but I don't know the final results.

Fifth and Sixth Grade

The girls played one of the most exciting games of the tournament, scoring with 2 minutes to play to win 1-0 against somebody called the D.C. Hot Shots. Anybody know where they're from? Anyway, they also beat Jackson and Kennett but lost to Perryville. They were playing one last game for third place; no results at press time.

The boys beat Cape 4-2, but lost to Sikeston and Festus. Festus? Wasn't he a character on Gunsmoke or something? I'll get back to you.

High School

They lost to Perryville 0-1, Cape 1-4, and San Francisco 1-2 but beat Cobden 2-0 so it was all worth while.


Can you tell I learned how to put color in my posts?
