Konner Knoll was awarded the first ever "Bob Gansler KCW Juniors Player of the Year" Award for his outstanding play in the 2009-2010 season. This award was presented to Konner by director Jon Parry at the last home game on Oct 23rd when the Wizards defeated San Jose. This will be an annual award going forward. Congrats Konner!

Catch Up-Some Old, Some New

I am sure I am forgetting plenty of articles about our Juniors but here is some of them from the past few months. There was a good profile on Konner Knoll here. Cameron Wallace of the U16s was given the award as "Star of the Day" here.

The U15s coached by Edmond Rugova won their division while playing in the Premier Heartland league by defeating KCFC Dragons 1-0. The complete table can be found here.

Jon Kempin and three other members of the Senior Squad visited Blue Valley North HS to play a little Soccer Volleyball. Since we only had four players, Kempin grabbed two of his U18s teamates: Jordy Rideout and Paul Oliver to make a full 6 man team. Check out the video from the event.

U16s Cameron Wallace - "Star of the Day"

Cam (#9 in white) had a steller match for Truman high school when he scored two goals against Ruskin . The local paper, which is the Examiner, awarded him "Star of the Day". Good stuff Cam!

KCW Juniors are Successful in Labor Day Tournament

Both of our younger teams participated in the Midwest Classic tournament that took place last weekend. The U13s played up in U14/15 age group and our U14/15s also played in this age group. It is important to note that our U14/15 team was composed of three players from the U13s and the remaining players were basically U14 players as the U15s are plying high school soccer right now.

Our U13s held their own with a 1-1-1 record and our U14/15s finished the tourney 4-0-0 winning the championship game 4-2 against BVSC Benfica. They also scored a tournament high of 9 goals. A big congrats to coach Edmond Rugova and his team.

Both teams will be in action this weekend with our U13s playing in Omaha Nebraska and our U14/15s playing here locally again.
