Tigers Take Home Second from Regionals



In Evanston the Tigers played three games in three days and were able to not only secure their birth at the state tournament but also to advance to the Regional Championship Game.

On Thursday the Tigers offense exploded and scored 6 goals against the Star Valley Braves. Goals were from, Ron Halstead (2), Erik Stembridge, Kevin Gold, Gilbert Gonzalez and Storie Ratcliff. The Braves were able to sneak in one goal before the end, so the Tigers settled for a 6 to 1 win. This victory gave the Tigers an automatic birth at the state tournament.

Varsity - (7 - 5 - 3)



On Friday, the Tigers squared off against Natrona County for a thrilling two to one overtime victory. The Tigers first goal came from Kyle Howe quickly followed by an equalizer by the Mustangs. In the second overtime period Kevin Gold scored on a penalty kick with about thirty seconds to go. This victory advanced the Tigers to the Regional Championship, their first Regional Championship game since 2004.

Varsity - (8 - 5 - 3)



On Saturday, the Kelly Walsh Trojans were just a little too much for the Tigers in the Regional Championship game. The Trojans took an early lead and added another early second half goal to cement their win. The Tigers did fight very hard and were able to get a goal from Ron Halstead to put some pressure on Kelly Walsh. But in the end it was the Trojans winning two to one.

Varsity - (8 - 6 - 3)

Up Next for RS - vs Cheyenne Central @ 4:30pm on Thursday May 15th at State Tournament in Laramie.

Spring Break and Schedule Changes

The games versus Green River that were originally scheduled during our Spring Break have been re-scheduled. We will now have the JV game on March 30 at 5pm in Green River with the Varsity Game being March 31st at 5pm in Rock Springs. We still have our two home matches against the Casper schools (KW and NC) the first weekend of spring break (4/3, 4/4). These matches will be very important for our seeding at regionals. The team also is scheduled to practice on Monday and Tuesday of spring break, but will get the rest of the week off. Please make your family plans so that the can coincide with the team plans. The changes to the game schedule and the practice schedule have been changed on their own links, see the links to your right.

1st Practice is Monday

Monday March 8th will be the first practice for the 2010 edition of the RSHS Tiger Soccer Team. The practice will be from 4:00pm to 6:00pm and will be held at the football field behind White Mountain Elementary field. All players need to remember their paperwork (physical, activities release, emergency card and proof of insurance) and their equipment (soccer cleats, shin guards, outdoor clothes and water). In the case of inclement weather, could we please have the students listen to the announcements at school or contact Coach Atkinson at the high school on Monday after lunch (room 304a).

Rivalry Games Postponed

Due to the snow and the inability to prepare our fields we had to postpone both the Varsity and JV matches with Green River earlier this week. These games will be re-scheduled at the earliest chance that we can fit it into our schedules. We are still hopeful that we will be able to play our next two home games against Natrona County on Friday April 3rd - JV - 3:00pm and Varsity 5:00pm and against Kelly Walsh on Saturday April 4 th - JV - 10:00am and Varsity 12:00pm.
