FIRST PLACE AT THE COLORADO SHOOTOUT
RMSA U-12 BOYS RED
The U-12 Boys, coached by Roy Serna and Jeff Johnson, captured first place at the Colorado Shootout Tournament in a dramatic fashion on October 3, 2010. The team only allowed two goals during regulation time in the entire tournament and scored 12 goals. In the Final Game the cougars were tied 1-1 which sent the game into overtime. The overtime periods were scoreless, and the game went to "kicks from the mark". The cougars prevailed by scoring 4 goals vs 2 from the oponents.
Sweet victory indeed since the cougars defeated the same team that beat them in the finals at the Pride of the Rockies tournament in August of this year. That made this final game extra special and a memorable one. Congratulations to the U-12 Boys Red for being the best and for representing the RMSA so well.
RMSA U-12 Boys Black
Finish second at the Colorado Shootout Tournament
After a rough start in their first season in the Premier Division, the U-12 Boys Black found their stride and showed their true form during this tournament. They played very well in the Tournament’s Gold Division which earned them a spot in the final match. The team took second place. The cougars also captured first place at the Steamboat Mountain Tournament in July of this year. Keep on winning cougars; you are looking good!
We congratulate all the players and their families for a great tournament. Thank you coach Brian and coach Lance for your strong commitment to the team.

COUGARS!
The RMSA U-11 Boys, under the direction of coach Brian Minter, have captured their division title. The team played their first season of competitive soccer in the CYS Classic South division finishing in first place with a record of 14-2-2. As a result, the team will be moving up to the CYS Premier 2 division for the Fall of 2010. Hard work and dedication by the players, their families and the coaching staff made this goal a reality. Great teams get better with time. That was the case with the U--11 Boys team. In fact, they improved even more during the second half of the season. After playing indoor soccer during the Winter, the team started their training outdoors very early in preparation for the outdoor season. They tied the first game and won the rest of their games!
