The Troup Titans U11 team, with two guest players, traveled to Savannah, GA for the OutBack Shamrock Cup. The Tournament had 112 Teams competing and our U11s had a 5 Team Division.

 

Saturday the 28^th, the Titans played RYSA Sporting at 10:30am for a 7 – 1 Win. They then played Roswell Santos at 1:00pm for a 6 – 4 Win. The heat, intensity and level of competition made for some great soccer.

 

On Sunday the 29th our Titans were ranked number 1 due to performance and points and had their 1^st match at 1:00pm against the Home Club SCFC Celtic Green. Titans won 5 – 2. The Championship Match was slated for 3:30pm and with about 60 minutes of rest faced Roswell Santos in the Finals Match. Titans dominated the whole Match and won the Championship with a 7 – 3 Win.

 

Four matches in two days, great competition, and a tremendous contribution by all 11 players made the 500 plus mile trip well-worth it.

 

We want to thank our two Guest Players, Ethan Boos and Damien Robbins, both from the ConCorde Fire South Club for contributing greatly to an outstanding delivery by the U11s.

 

Well-Done Titans.

 

 

 

 Tryouts will be held at WRES Soccer fields.  Bring plenty of water.  No Cost.

 

TITANS U11S vs Macon United Red U11, 2011, 12:00pm – Lost 3to 5

The loss does not reflect the improved level of play our U11s exhibited today. Two weeks ago against Upson County the 11s utilized great passes, feeds, and wall-work. This week there were many more wall-passes, extreme efforts by every player and just, overall, a tremendous improvement in Team play. That is what we strive for at Academy Level and the U11s delivered today.

 

At half-time the score was Macon 2, Titans 0. Coach Brandon explained our mistakes and the U11s increased their level of play the second half to deliver a 3 to 3 second half. Each of the 14 players did their job today, but I must single out one player for stepping up her game, to an extent never seen. Savannah Thompson had two great finishes, with very nicely done assists from Liam and Ian. She capitalized on them for goals that required strength, overpowering, and finesse to both finishes. That is what the Striker does. Thank you Titans U11s for excellent Soccer.

 

TITANS U11s - Good, Fair, and Hard Play next week in the President’s Cup. Never Give Up, Never Surrender. (I stole that, heard it in a Campy movie once, but it’s true!)

 

SCORING RECAP: Savannah Thompson – 2 Goals, James Tuley – 1 Goal on P.K.

 

TITANS U12 vs Macon United U12s, 3:00pm – Won 3 to 1

The 12s were on fire today. They started their 3:00pm Match with excellent passing, wall passes, multiple over-laps, playing back, and dominated on-side possession the first half.

 

Macon United delivered formidable opponents. They are well trained, disciplined, and know their Soccer. Their execution of plays as a team and as individuals were excellent. Our guys just outplayed them.

 

The names go on and on, Reed Slay and Cameron Spinks and Marat Rosencrants and Matt Hale and Matt Thomas and Mason Kang and James Tuley and Collin Sargeant and Will Allen (at Keeper – Go Will, well-done) and Ian Bryan acted as One Team. They were on-base today and delivered the best passing, defense, and the most intelligent play exhibited this season. These guys are strong and getting stronger. Watch them!

 

Reed Slay won the Game Ball Award for an excellent performance and effort, voted for by his team mates. Well-Done and Well-Deserved Reed Slay.

 

SCORING RECAP: Marat Rosencrants – 1 Goal, Ian Bryan (assisted by Matthew Thomas who powered a volley return from within our box to basically the other team’s box for a header goal ) – 2 Goals

 

TITANS U12 vs Macon United U12s, 4:30pm – Won 2 to 1

The U12s didn’t lose a step between their 1^st Match and their Second.  They literally had 20 minutes between Matches and hit the field with great attacks and spirit.  With two new players, Austin Stamper and Liam McDonald, they continued their excellent play. Control of the ball, passing with-in the Diamond, wall work, multiple player work-arounds, playing back, and Great Team Soccer was the game. Will Allen, you are the man as Keeper. Well-Done.

 

Macon United brought their known-intensity and it was matched with determination and better Team Soccer by the Titans.

 

Ian Bryan won the Game Ball Award for an excellent performance and effort, voted for by his team mates. Well-Done and Well-Deserved Ian Bryan.

 

SCORING RECAP: Matthew Thomas – 1 Goal, Ian Bryan - 1 Goal

In the "Dutch League" format, players are assigned random teams every game and they accumulate points based on the following criteria: win 3 points, tie 1 point, loss 0 points. Each team member also scores points for the total team goals in that game. Each game lasts 8 minutes and there will be 8-9 games per night. The 3 top point earners for the night will win a prize. The top point earners for the year will also win a prize.

The "Dutch League" is a great environment for the kids to just go out and play. They will learn to play with different players of varying abilities and there will be NO coaching. It is a format designed for the players.

In what was likely their final team competition, the ’91 Troup Titans captured their second tournament championship when they took home first place in the U19 bracket of the South Atlanta Peach Classic Tournament held in Henry County May 16-17. The team won all four games, defeating two other teams from Georgia and one from North Carolina. The ’91 Titans are the most decorated team in the Troup Titans Soccer Club history, with a half-dozen players playing on the inaugural Titan’s team at U14 in the spring of 2004. Most of the team’s players graduated from high school last week.

The Troup Titans' U17 and U19 boys' teams, both slated to play in Classic III for the fall season, finished runners-up in their respective divisions of the 2008 Atlanta Cup Tournament, the largest soccer competition in the US with over 680 teams in this year's event.

The U17s played their prelimary matches in Duluth before traveling to Gainesville for the final. The Titans defeated Lokomotiv 3-1 in the opener followed by shut-outs of Tornado Orange 1-0 and Sharks Navy 3-0 in their other round robins. The team rallied to in regulation time to equalize with AUFSA Silver 3-3 in the semi-final then won on kicks from the penalty kicks 4-3. The Titans luck ran out in the final however when they were defeated 2-nil by HFC Red from north Carolina. The U17s open up on Sunday September 7 at home vs. Augusta Arsenal Blue at the soccer complex.

The U19 Titans traveled to Lovejoy to play their preliminary matches before traveling to Newnan for Championship Monday. The Titans' defeated Mobile Soccer Club 2-1 in their opener with a goal in the last 30 seconds of play. The Titans followed that up with three consecutive shut-out wins 1-nil including the semi-final as they defeated AUFSA Silver, Lexington Soccer Club (South Carolina), and Cobb Strikers Red. That set-up the finale against CFC Flames from TN where the locals fell 3-1 in the 'ship', after leading 1-nil at the half. The U19s open on the road Sept. 6 at Stone Mountain Red before returning home Sept. 7 at home to face off against Concorde Fire Whitel.

It's been a long time coming, but the '91 Titans picked-up their first gold tournament medal after numerous runner-up and near-miss finishes over the past several years. The U17s finish as very unlikely given the circumstances of missing players and their amazing come-back in their third round-robin match, which vaulted them to the final where the "curse" was lifted. The tournament finish was bittersweet for Coach Mark McCloud, who may have coached his final game for the Troup Titans Soccer Club. For the complete story,click here.

The Troup Titans' Soccer Club will join forces again with the local chapter of the Salvation Army to help distribute toys and food to needy families in the West Georgia Community on Friday December 21. Many players from the Titans' '90, '91, and '92 teams have participated in the project over the years, including close to 40 participants in 2006. If you would like to help out, contact Director of Coaching Mark McCloud @ mamccloud@mindspring.com no later than Dec. 14.

Troup Titans' Soccer Club Director of Coaching Mark McCloud has long encouraged players to consider coaching or assistant coaching some of the younger-age level squads. A few players have run clinics for teams over the past couple of seasons, but no season-long stint until now. Eric Luebbers, an inaugural member of the Titans' charter team, and the '90 boys' sqauad, served the past fall season as an assistant coach for the Titans' U14 classic team. McCloud wanted to keep Luebbers involved with the club during the year since the player has a serious knee injury (ACL) during the high school season last spring. A terrific opportunity became available with Coach Joe Monley's team. "This year I have enjoyed coaching more than I ever thought I would. Sometimes it's tough coming up with a layout for practice that works on what they need and lets them have fun. But, just working with the kids is fun, you get to the point were they are more than just your players, they become your friends," says Luebbers, who thinks now that coaching is something he will be donig for the rest of his life. "It's just really cool to watch them grow, not just as soccer players but as people, and to try to help them out with anything they need," Luebbers added. The former sweeper for the '90 Titans' team will have one more season of eligibility to play club and McCloud hopes he will return to play with the '91 squad in the fall of 2008. Luebbers hopes to soon get medical clearance to resume working out. He is a junior at LaGrange Academy and plans to play with the school team next fall.

With an opportunity to learn more about the game as well as a chance to make a few bucks as a part-time job, a number of local youngsters believe they may have found the perfect job - serving as referees for the game they play and love.
