On Saturday May 23rd the Rock Springs Tigers played in the 2009 State Soccer Cup Consolation Finals against the Gillette Camels. The Camels were more aggressively on the offensive end then were the Tigers and seemed to be a step faster all match long. The Camels scored twice on the Tigers in the first half, scoring coming in the 16th and 26th minute. The Tigers did step up their game and intensity in the second half but found themselves in a difficult deficit. The Camels added an insurance goal in the 49th minute to take the lead three to zero. That lead would prove to be the final score. The Tigers ended their season with 11 wins and 9 losses. They also ended the season with a 6th place finish at the State Cup. The seniors on the 2009 squad; Tevin Beaver, Gilbert Gonzalez, Garrett Hay, Bryce Kalista, Erick Mata and Cody Rall all played their last match for the orange and black. These seniors represented themselves and their team very well and we are proud of them and what they and their teammates were able to accomplish this season.
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.
