Congrats to South Aiken and Airport on making the final.

3rd place game - Clover 3, Ridge View 0.

Kelsey Hamilton (3).

Clover goes 3-1 at the Airport tourney?
How can that be? Little ole' Clover? There are only 4 soccer balls in the whole town.

Perhaps this is a darned good team at every position? Oooopppppssssss, looks like there is a new power house in TOWN BABY!!! Guess what Clover is solid and a lot of teams are going to find out the hard way.

Airport beat S. Aiken 3-2 in the hard fought, exciting final.
Airport looked good. They came back twice, scored with 7 mins. left to go ahead, then hung on for the win.
The game was a darn good one.
Note: Clover did look good in the tournament, taking 3rd place overall.
The Airport tournament again was a well-organized and well-run event with perfect weather this year.
Congratulations to Coach Morris and Airport for a great weekend of soccer.

Coach Morris,

Congratulations. Don't forget to invite Clover back again in 2009. I think they'll leave the knife at home and bring the gun next year.

Good luck with the rest of your season, looks like 3A is in for a great finish come May. Go get 'em!

Airport vs. South Aiken Final

Another great championship game at the Lady Eagle Classic. South Aiken played inspired and stepped hard to every 50/50 ball. South Aiken struck first on a through ball that led to a 1v1 which was converted by South Aikens forward. Less than a minute later Airport answered by a goal from freshman Emily Jeffcoat via a cross from Casi Jones. The first half was filled with near misses from both teams. Maybe being a little biased I felt Airport had the better scoring chances in the first half but overall a pretty even 1st half. Halftime 1-1.
2nd Half
Back and forth we go with South Aiken's left forward cranking a low shot to near post that squeezed past the keeper. S. Aiken 2 Airport 1. Airport answers on a great header by Kelly Smith from Casi Jones. 2-2. Airport finishes off the scoring that was setup by a corner that was headed and then the S. AIken keeper makes a great save/deflection. Off the deflection it was ripped back in and either hit the post or the keeper made another great save/deflection but was finally finished by Casi Jones. Final was 3-2.

I want to commend Coach Young and South Aiken as they played very well tonight. Their keeper made some outstanding saves. I think they have improved tremendously from the Taco Bell and it will be interesting to see how Aiken, Irmo, Lexington, North Augusta, South Aiken and White Knoll(notice they are in alphabetical order) finish up in their region this year.
