FHS, Bearden, KCHS flavor to U.S. Youth Southern Prez Cup #1

A local girls youth soccer club team, USA North 2008G Premier team, “just pulled off something incredible,” one team spokesperson said. “They won the US Youth Soccer Southern President’s Cup in Plano Texas, last week, going undefeated and giving up just two goals in five games.

It was the first regional appearance in club history, and now they’re headed to Nationals next month in Tampa.” Players from Farragut and Bearden High School, plus Knoxville Catholic High, are part of the team also including players elsewhere in Knox County plus Anderson and Blount counties. Local players are, front row left to right (first player) Reagan Walden of BHS.
