Hurricanes Secure April Championship

April 20-21, 2007. The '97 Hurricanes Black Squad were crowned CHAMPIONS at their home tournament in Nashville, TN (Music City Invitational). Starting with an impressive win against SW Illinois 7-0, the boys stumbled with a late Saturday loss to the Cobras from Missouri . This lead to a match up against an excellent team from Memphis, TN in the semi-finals on Sunday morning. The boys won in a stellar match against Memphis (Germantown Fury) in the Semi-finals 1-0 (many said this was the best soccer match of the tournament). In the Championship match, a hard fought against Huntsville's United Club, the Hurricanes prevaled 2-1. The boys posted a 3-1 tournament record and captured the championship in grand style, playing cohesive and inspirited soccer.

Hurricanes' Black Squad Take 2nd Place at SRFC Tourney

Although not playing their best soccer over the April 1st weekend, the Black Squad of the '97 Hurricanes captured 2nd place in the Stones River Futbol Club Spring Shootout tournament in Smyrna Tennessee. The lads fell in the championship match 2-0 to the Memphis Club "Tennessee Rush". Taking nothing away from the TN Rush Club who played very well, and did not allow a single goal in 4 matches, our boys gave a good physical effort but seemed not to be able to gel as a team this weekend. Coach Jose Londono said the boys were "very inconsistent when it came to executing the proper skill at the right time." Practice resumes with a focus on improvement that will be needed for the upcoming HFC Music City Inv. Tournament in mid April.
