The Nationals FC 97B White team win perhaps in the most impressive manner, the 2010 3v3 Kick It Regional Qualifier. In a formidable display of team work, the White team finished not only first in their bracket, but finished undefeated. Their margin of victory during their pool play was 10 goals. Using their experience as their "Secret Weapon", Randy, Vicente, Alan, Johnathan and Hunter completely dominated their way into the championship. Watching from the sidelines, an injured but supportive Kevin Keeler cheered on as his mates won another championship. Their toughest task was an inspired Nationals FC 97B Blue team in the championship. Although the game could have gone to either team, the White team proved too much for the less experienced Blue team. Congratulations again, White team, see ya in Austin!!

Led by Coach Daniel, the Nationals FC 97B Blue team displayed exceptional resilience playing together for the first time. Although Jose, Julian, William, Alejandro, Christian and Tristan were new to each other, their exceptional ability adapt quickly, gave them an advantage over every team in the tournament. Even though they got off to a slow start, the team managed to bring it together under Coach Daniel's leadership. After losing their first game, the boys won all their remaining games which propelled them to the Semi Finals and gave them a second chance to play the same team that beat them in the opening round. Facing an older and physically bigger team, the boys used team defense and quick counter attacks to finish off the Cobras and move on to the Championship. Facing a much more experienced Nationals FC 97B White team, the Blue Team played inspired team soccer and quickly went ahead 2-0 with goals from Jose and Alejandro. The White team quickly responded with two goals from Randy and tied it up with 3 minutes left in the first half. The White team quickly built a 5-3 lead and although Jose's goal closed the gap, time was just not on their side and the final whistle from the ref showed a 5-4 advantage for the White team. Great job Blue team, we are very proud of your performance and can't wait to see what you will bring to the next tournament.
