CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BINGHAM MINERS!
2007 FALL BALL CHAMPIONS
(Lone Peak Park, 10/20/07 ) In a close contest, the Bingham Miners topped the Park City Miners 8-7 on an Austin Roothof goal with 3 seconds remaining. Congratulations to the Miners for taking the win! In other action, Brighton came out on top of Jordan 7-2 to finish in 3rd place.
We could not be happier with the sportsmanship and competition. 17 of the 28 games played were decided by 1 goal or less. Every team had their share of success. The overriding sentiment from coaches, players, and fans was that the series got kids their kids active, particularly those that would otherwise be sitting on the couch in September and October. It also helped the younger players get a taste of high school level lacrosse before they are thrown into the mix next spring.
We want to thank all of those that made the inaurugal 2007 Utah Select Fall Ball Series a success! We could not have done it without your help. Here are just a few that made it possible:
- Brandon Horoba - Got the ball rolling and found some Great Fields!
- Tim and Norma Zimmerman, and John Barraco - always there to setup and take down.
- Stu, Tony, Brandon, Parker - The officials that ref'd 4 cold, rainy Saturdays
- The Levetans
- Annie Hernecker
- Face Off Lax
- Rage Cage - certainly made life easier!
- Countless others I am forgetting
We will be back again next year with more teams and better weather. See you in 2008.
