Over 100 players and guests attended the Little Egypt Soccer Club's first annual banquet to help make it a huge success. Hors d'oeuvres were from 6:00 to 7:00 while everyone mingled talking with the players, coaches and guests. In addition, a slide show of the last four months events, including; field work, the indoor soccer team, outdoor soccer practice, the steamers game, and construction of the new "eagles nest" were viewed during this time.
At 7:00, Jack Graham lead the group in a prayer, and successfully negotiated his table to be the first in line for food. 7:45, Head coach Bernie Johnson spoke briefly on the status of the fields and teams concluding with the dispursement of the new U16 uniforms.
Around 8:00, Steamer's forward Joe Reiniger, our guest speaker and detailed the benefits of club soccer as "better coaching, better exposure and better competition." He emphasized that "there are two main goals of a soccer player; Be Competitive, but have fun; and possibly obtain some financial aide to help with college." At the conclusion, Joe pulled the winning ticket (Aaron Kreig) of an autographed "Reiniger" Steamer's jersey and an autographed soccer ball (Brent Marcum).
The festivities ended around 9:00, but not until Joe signed autographs for all those attending, and shooting photos with the teams, directors and guests.

The Indoor Screamin' Eagles lose to St. Louis Ginga in tonights game by a score of 2 to 1. "We did everything right tonight" said Coach Johnson. "The boys were passing and handling the ball very good. We took off practice the holiday week and the kids seemed relaxed and ready-to-go."
The Eagles played 40 minutes of hard fought soccer and it appeared that the game was to end in a 1 - 1 tie, but with 37 seconds remaining in the game, St. Louis scored the go ahead goal. "This was probably the best team we've seen this season" said Johnson. "I'm really proud of how far they (eagles) have come so far. Goalie Aaron Krieg stepped up tonight to stifle St. Louis's offensive attack stopping 24 of 26 shots on goal. "Our defense was everywhere tonight" Coach Johnson said "If someone turned it over, they chased it down and recovered the ball. That's the aggressiveness I've been looking for from them."
The game summary for the Eagles was; Michael Kuhn 1 Goal, assisted by Steven Riley in the 10:37 mark of the 1st half. The first half ended in a 1 -1 tie with St. Louis Ginga scoring at the 2:47 mark of the 1st half. The second half was a stalemate until 37 seconds remaining when St. Louis hit a cross court pass to the week side of the goal.
The Eagles next game will be against "Staudenmaier" Tuesday Jan. 10, 2006 at 7:00 pm.

scoring losses. "We couldn't miss tonight," said Johnson. "The boys really
picked up on practice this week." Breese scored once, but had several almost go
