On Saturday, September 17, 2011, the St. Mary of Huntley Knights of Columbus Council held the annual Soccer Challenge at Deicke Park in Huntley for youth ages 10-14 years. This event was free to all participants and allows them to demonstrate their soccer goal kicking skills. It was held on “picture day” for the Huntley Park District soccer teams and co-located next to the area where the soccer teams had pictures taken.
This event is sponsored annually, with winners progressing through local, district and state competitions. International champions are announced by the K of C international headquarters based in New Haven, CT, on scores from state level competitions. All contestants on the local level were recognized for their participation.
The boy’s champions were Lucas Clemetson for the 10 year olds, Adrian Santos for the 11 year olds and Nick Starek was the champion for the 13 year olds. For the girls, Mackenzie Kobrick was the champion for the 10 year olds while Shannow Swalve was the 11 year old champion and Dana Taylor was the champion for the 12 year old girls.
Each of these winners will compete in the district competitions to be held on October 29, 2011 at St. Margaret Mary Church in Algonquin, Illinois, at 1 PM with an eye toward moving on to the regional competition which will be held at Tomaso Sports Fields in Huntley at 9AM, Saturday, November 5, 2011. Then the regional winners will progress to state and hopefully international levels.
