Presidential Meeting

Tomorrow night will end the Trojan Ladies pre-season matches versus their two AAA rivals, with a final game at George Washington High School. Tunstall will be facing the Eagles once again this year and with high hopes to make the scoreboard flicker it's lights in a better favor of the Trojans!! The last meeting of the two teams this 2007 season ended with a 5-0 loss to GW and a hard fought blustery match for Tunstall. The Ladies are simply hoping to leave the pitch with high spirits and a close score! The THS girls always try their hardest and put forth magnificent effort to accomplish goals that matter to them, even if not to anyone else! So tomorrow night will produce an excellent game with the clash of red and blue inside the city limits, perhaps even the beautiful game will bring forth an upset, certainly would not be the first account of alot of will power and luck defeating such a powerhouse on the futbol field!!!

STEER CLEAR OF THE FEAR TROJANS!

Farewell to the Comets!

Well another year of matching up against the Halifax Comets has come and now past, as Tunstall played Halifax County for the second and final time in 07 last Wednesday night. The Trojans had all 15 gals at the game and all in working order, but perhaps the Ladies minds were'nt at the game at all. The first half started rather quickly as Halifax used its speed to turn up the heat on the pitch, and what incredible speed those Comets have! By halftime Tunstall was facing a 4-0 deficit to the girls in blue! And with the end of the next 40 minutes of play the Trojans lost to Halifax 6-0. Game ball for this match was awarded to Tunstall's keeper and senior captain Hannah, she is often faced with many opponents inside of the box as well as our own defenders, yet despite all the chaos she always keeps tough and never lets us down! Hannah passed the ball onto another senior and defensive captain Haley, because she felt Haley also displayed these traits of endurance and mental and physical toughness!!

But HAVE NO FEAR...the TROJANS are definitely still here and still excited and positive about this 2007 season! Everyone understands that facing such a AAA team, with its own JV squad and excellent practice field, have a bit of an advantage...so the Ladies aren't looking at this loss with sadened hearts, but are all ready and willing to make steps toward vast improvement!!! Tunstall faces only one match this coming week, their second encounter with George Washington on Friday night! So this week will be yielding lots of good practice time and all the girls are working together to help the young ladies learn more and our inexperienced girls are even helping to keep the veterans upbeat and enthusiastic!! TUNSTALL is coming together in unison like rarely seen before! The 2007 season is still yet to begin, so stick to it TROJANS! Our time will come!!

Comets Will Be Passing...

and soon leaving, disappointed!

For the second and final time this 2007 season the Trojan Ladies will be once again facing the Halifax Comets, this game will be played with in Tunstall Stadium!! And O what a game it will be, the Trojan Women will be out for blue, in the absolutely fiercest of ways! The girls will have all 15 of the marvelous players at this match and plan on working extremely hard on the pitch to maintain possession of the ball and shoot alot more than at their last meeting with the Comets. Tunstall will also be experimenting with a new defensive strategy in the start of the game and all the girls hope to communicate with each other on the field as well!! Every Trojan is extremely excited about this rematch and are going to make the best of this opportunity!!

!Get HUNGRY TROJANS!

A Little Hometown Heat

It's that time of year again.....time for the George Washington Eagles to fly on over to our Trojan Coliseum! And flew they did (again please excuse the delay) as this past Monday night G.W. faced Tunstall on a cold and windy pitch to see who would be this year's victor! The match started well for the Trojans as the Eagles scored one goal fairly early in the game, but Tunstall was able to hold them off and stir up some offensive action of their own. But late in the first half G.W. was able to score two more goals, ending the half in a 3-0 deficit! However, the second 40 minutes truly allowed the Trojan offense to excel and gain entrance into the Eagles' 18 yard box several times, but alas Tunstall was still not able to score against these AAA flying huntresses.

Today at the Trojan practice game ball was given to senior forward Courtney for her excellent effort that night against the George Washington defense, Courtney passed this on the senior defensive captain Rachel, who always plays an extremely steady and dependable game in the backfield for Tunstall!

Don't fear that these G.W. Ladies will be running off with the Trojan pride for yet another match between the two fierce rivals is scheduled for next Friday night, this time it will be played inside the Eagles' nest...AND the Tunstall Ladies will certainly once again put up an excellent fight with even more passion and intensity than this last game enthralled!!!

Great Showing Trojans

Please excuse the extreme delay, but to conclude with last Wednesday night's match against the Halifax Comets, the Tunstall Ladies played an excellent "pre-season" opener away on the Comets' turf! The score did not turn out in the Trojans favor, but the overall outcome was certainly what the women were looking for, as the Comets scored 4 goals in the first half, but Tunstall was able to bring it all together for a nice shutout in the second 40 minutes of play!!

This first game turned out fine for the new Silver and Scarlet Ladies of Tunstall and also served as a great game to reflect upon and make a few approvements for the seasoned veterans! One of the Trojans' senior captains and goal keeper was awarded the game ball, for her excellent play in goal that night, Hannah was able to save approximately 25 of the Comets' 29 shots!! She then passed on the ball to newcomer and sophomore LP who played well in her first varsity soccer match and showed great aggresiveness on the field!! So AWESOME MATCH TROJANS!

Embarking on the Journey...

"Losers quit when they get tired, Winners quit after they're finished."

Tunstall's reasoning behind playing 2 local teams that are not within their district, and are also AAA schools; is that the Trojans enjoy seeing other teams around the soccer community and also to challenge themselves during the pre-season.

The Ladies will be facing the AAA Halifax Comets of the Western Valley District this Wednesday night at 5:30pm. And the Trojans will try their best to apply the above quote to this game. The Ladies shall work their hardest and put forth an excellent effort after so many weeks of conditioning, Tunstall appears to be in quite good shape!! The Comets may have the upper hand in this face-off on Wednesday, but the game will yield great game experience for several of the Trojan’s young players and a good “refresher” course for the other seasoned veterans. But make NO mistake about it; the Tunstall Ladies will surely be out for a win!!! Every Trojan is extremely excited about their first match and is very anxious to start this HIGHLY anticipated season! So wish the gals great & amazing quantities of GOOD LUCK for their first game.
