ALLLLLLL-District Honorees

Tunstall placed a record number of girls on the All-District teams this year with a whopping 6 Ladies representing the silver and scarlet Trojans. The girls' goal keeper, Hannah Bowman, earned the 1st team spot as the goalie!! And on second team Tunstall had: Rachel Eames, Courtney Robertson, Dana Rojas, Brittany Warren, and Kristen Wilkinson. Congratulations to all 6 of you girls who were awarded with these honors! And a HUGE congratulations to ALL the Trojan Ladies for an excellent season and tournament in 2007!!!

First Ever Regional Berth

The Lady Trojans were quite successful in defeating the Patrick County Cougars on Thursday afternoon to snag the third place finish and recieve a ticket to the Region IV tournament. The Trojans started the game off really strong and were able to score all 3 goals in the first half. The Tunstall scorers included: Katie K, and the sister duo of Amber and Lauren Elliot. Patrick Co. put forth a good effort to come back in the second half on a goal scored midway through the 40 minutes, but that was their only goal of the night and the Tunstall defense proved true as they allowed no other shots past the goal line!! Tunstall advances on the Tazewell, VA on Tuesday May, 29th against the Tazewell Lady Bulldogs. This also marks the first ever Regional berth for Tunstall's Girls' Soccer Team, so congratulations to all you Trojans, past and present who have made this possible!! The team is progressing forward year after year, reaching new heights, and having lots of fun all along the way!

GREAT JOB LADY TROJANS!

Tournament Activity

Well so far the Trojan's season is not over!! The Ladies played a great game against Magna Vista on Monday night at Bassett Stadium. Both teams played well, but the Trojans fought harder and pulled away with a 2-0 shutout against the Warriors. The two Tunstall goals were scored first by Kristen Wilkinson on a magnificently placed direct kick, and then in the second half Brittany Warren was able to shoot one in past the Magna Vista keeper. The Ladies played tonight against Martinsville and this Thursday night against the loser of tonight's Patrick Co/Bassett match up. Tunstall and their opponents will be playing for the third place spot in the tournament to advance on to Regional play. Since Tunstall played tonight, Tuesday, against Martinsville and did not finish up as well as they would've liked, losing to the Bulldogs 5-1.

However, the Ladies are SUPER excited about Thursday's game and are extremely syked to try their absolute hardest to win!!! The Trojan women are determined to leave everything on the field that night and it will certainly take a very mighty force to release this game from Tunstall's strong clutches!

To All That We Will Give, And Pray That It Is MORE Than Enough

I am officially VERY sorry for stopping with the game summaries in the middle of our season! Please excuse my shameful laziness!! But the Trojan's Regular Season has now come to a close with Tunstall holding a nice record of 4-5-1. And the Ladies' District Tournament will be heating up, as Tunstall prepares to match up against the Magna Vista Warriors on Monday, May 21, 2007 at Bassett High School Stadium, with the game's kick-off at 7:30 p.m. Tunstall is ranked as the No. 4 seed and Magna Vista the No. 5! However, both teams have equaled out against each other over the season as Tunstall first defeated the Warriors at home, but at their second meeting, Magna Vista was able to come back from a 1-0 deficit after the first half to beat the Trojans 3-1!! SO the match will certainly yield itself to an excellent night of exciting and extremely tense soccer! Emotions are going to run rampant at Bassett on Monday, so the entire Piedmont should be out to watch the match unfold! And of course to cheer on the Trojan Ladies!!!!

We have the ability and potential, but do we have the stronger will to win?

I certainly hope so!
