On Saturday, September 8, 2012, 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, allowing them to demonstrate
their soccer goal kicking skills.
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 Duncan Whitfield for the 10 year olds, Zach Rojer for the
11 year olds and Devan Turk was the champion for the 12 year olds.
For
the girls, Grace Kalischefski was the 10 year old champion while Stephanie
Varkados was the champion for the 11 year olds with Shannon Pylypowycz as the
12 year old champion and Kaitlyn White was the champion for the 13 year old
girls. Erin Gaitsch was the 14 year old
girls champion.
Each of these winners were eligible to compete in
the district competitions held at St. Margaret Mary Church in Algonquin, Illinois,
on October 14, 2012, with an eye toward moving on to the regional competition
which will be held at Tomaso Sports Fields in Huntley at 9AM, Saturday,
November 3, 2012. Then the regional
winners will progress to state and hopefully international levels.
