Team News:

• To the players of the U-13 United Quest Blue: Thanks for a memorable and exciting year! You girls are awesome!

• Pictures posted! We've posted pictures from the Jesup trip, the team party and the celebration after our upset win over the Quest U-12 Red team. Plus there's a perfectly-timed photo of Alex's winning goal. We thank team photographers Rhonda Bergman and Beverly Womack for their excellent work!

• Hmm... Let's step into the time machine for a moment, going back to December, 1998, right after our game against the GSA Phoenix White in the Athens Finale tournament. The game report included this final thought: "The Quest didn't win the game, but they won the respect of everyone in attendance with their combination of skilled play, hustle and determination. If the team can build on this during the spring, watch out "C" division!"   For those of you who didn't follow the team closely during the spring, the girls did indeed build on this performance, finishing in 2nd place in the "C" division to earn promotion into the "B" division!

• Canterbury Cup tournament: We made it to our first-ever tournament championship match! Congratulations Quest Blue!

• We won our first game, earning maximum points with a 3-0 victory over the Roswell Santos Red.

• We won our second game, as Sarah scored a late goal to give the Quest a 1-0 win over the Brookwood Steamers White.

• We won our third game, battling every minute of the game against the United Quest U-12 Reds. Alex scored on a beautiful long-range free kick midway through the first half, and the Quest defense did a great job stopping the Red team as we held on to win 1-0. News flash: Click here for a great photo of Alex's goal.

• We played the U-13 White team for the U-13 Athena championship. The Quest Blue took an early 1-0 lead off yet another long free kick goal by Alex. The Quest White stormed back, though, taking a 4-1 halftime lead on the strength of a quick, full field attack and dangerous crosses. The Quest Blue was determined to go out with a blaze of glory, and they played an inspired second half, but were only able to get one goal back. Final score: Quest White 4, Quest Blue 2.
