92 Jammers Gold

The 92 Gold team ended their CASL Showcase careers as they started it:  undefeated.  In their third consecutive year in the event the Jammers competed in the Elite bracket's Copa flight and came away with a 3-0 record on the weekend.   On Friday the Jammers started strong against Georgia's Augusta Arsenal, a state semifinalists in last year's State Cup.  JSC jumped out early when Andrew Moore's throw found Pierce Verchick in the box for a one time finish.  Soon after, Verchick would strike again after Andrew Daniel beat two opponents in the midfield and found the streaking JSC striker for another finish, this time to the top left corner.   The Arsenal would get one goal back, but wouldn't challenge again as the Jammers took home a 2-1 victory.

On Saturday the opponent was Suncoast Soccer Academy out of Florida.  On this day the Jammers started sluggish, but managed to take a 1-0 lead on a very good individual effort by Moore in the first half to lead 1-0 at the break.  JSC would double their lead midway through the second when Verchick (pictured right) again found the back of the net.  The game would be put away when Verchick set up Evan Mobley for a one time shot inside the penalty area to leave the match 3-0.  On Sunday the Jammers needed only a draw against Virginia Premier League side, Reston Rowdies to clinch the bracket.  Down two starters due to injury, the Jammers once again seemed a bit sluggish, but managed to get a go-ahead goal early in the second half when Andrew Daniel made a penetrating run and slotted the ball past the keeper to give JSC a 1-0 victory.

At U18, this was the final time the Jammers will comepete at a CASL event.  The 92 Gold team won the event in 2007, 2009, and 2010, posting a cumulative 10-0 record over those three years.

92 Jammers Blue

The 92 Blue team made a bit of club history before they kicked off their first game at the 2010 Showcase - being the first "Blue" team in JSC history to earn an invitation to the event and competing in the Premier bracket's Copa Flight.  It wouldn't be easy as the recently promoted 1st Division side would face Premier league teams from North Carolina, Virginia, and Indiana.  

The first match saw the Jammers playing with just 11 players due to scheduling conflicts.  With a depleted roster, the Jammers fell behind 2-0 to Indianapolis (Ind.) F.C.  JSC would cut the lead in half just after the second half kickoff, but the lack of depth eventually wore down the Jammers. The 92 Blue would continue to press, but couldn't find the back of the net to leave the game at 2-1.  The second match of the event saw the Jammers facing Charlotte Soccer Academy's Predator team - the sixth ranked team in North Carolina.  The Jammers started strong and had several chances throughout the match, but couldn't find the net in a 0-0 draw.  

JSC had a chance to win their bracket on Sunday with a victory against Richmond (Va.) Magic.  In an evenly matched game the Jammers found themselves on the wrong side of a controversial call near the end of the first half as the ball rebounded off the JSC defender stationed on the goal line beside the near post.  The referee's assistant judged the entire ball crossed the line and awarded what would be the only goal of the match leaving the Jammers with a 0-2-1 record and giving the Magic a 2-0-1 record to win the bracket.

93 Jammers Gold

The 93 Gold team also made the trip to Raleigh, competing in the U17 boy's Premier bracket, Predator flight.  The Jammers started the weekend - also shorthanded due to scheduling conflicts - on Friday losing to CASA Premier out of Pennsylvania East by a 3-1 margin.   JSC would rebound the next day with a 1-0 victory over the Concord (Ga.) Fire Black.  The 93 Gold team would wrap up their weekend with a hard fought 2-1 victory over the Louisiana 94 ODP select team on Sunday.  

The victory on Sunday clinched second place in the bracket as the Jammers posted a 2-1-0 record with a goal differential an even 4-4.

GSA had defeated previously undefeated and defending national champion Alpharetta Ambush in league play.  Earlier in the season the Jammers lost a heart breaker to the Ambush in a 4-3 match.

Playing a high level league schedule on top of the North Carolina High School season had taken its toll on the Jammers who were missing five players due to injuries, leaving the team with just two subs.  Still, JSC came out early and nearly took a 1-0 lead when Hunter Mason took a through ball from Andrew Daniel and sent the ball across where Stephen McDaniel’s header glanced over the bar.  The Phoenix would respond quickly, calling JSC keeper Stephen Moffitt into action seven times in the opening half.  Moffitt was equal to each attempt, leaving the game scoreless at the half.  

The second half saw GSA beginning to push forward and create more chances, finally getting on the scoreboard in the 81st minute when a JSC mistake resulted in an own goal.  With time running out the Jammers pushed forward and had one final chance when Cody Snow’s throw in from the left side was sent into the box.  The ball bounced just right when Mason followed up on the weak side and one timed it into the net to give JSC the equalizer in the 91st minute. 

For Jamestown it was a bit of role reversal as the Jammers had fallen to the previously top ranked Ambush 4-3 due to a stoppage time goal.   

On Sunday morning the Jammers returned to action against the North Atlanta Soccer Academy’s Elite team.  In another physical match the Jammers again had a couple of early opportunities, but couldn’t capitalize.  JSC would battle late into the second half but couldn’t put anything away as fatigue set in, leaving the Jammers with a 0-0 draw.

Over the course of a nine game season the Jammers posted a 2-4-3 overall record to end with nine points - good enough to finish in fifth place in the Region.  The four losses came to the defending USYS National Champions (4-3 to Alpharetta Ambush), South Carolina State Champion and Regional Semifinalist (1-0 to CESA), the Georgia State Finalist (1-0 to Georgia FC), and to another Regional Semifinalist (4-2 to TFC Navy).  Along the way the Jammers were able to defeat State Finalists from Florida and South Carolina (1-0 over SAA Real Madrid & 5-1 over LCSC United) while drawing with the nation’s No. 1 and No. 4 teams (1-1 to GSA and 1-1 to Florida Rush).  

Following the completion of high school soccer, the team will prepare for their final club season which will include several of the country’s top events including the CASL Showcase, Disney Showcase, TFC Showcase, Las Vegas Mayor’s Cup, Jefferson Cup, and Julian Brown International Showcase.

The 93 Lady Gold started the teams run in Division 1 on Saturday facing the Twins Blue at home.  As expected this was a very tight contest as we had faced this team at the Twin City Classic and drew 2-2 a few weeks ago.  The first half saw the Jammers start with a lot of energy and effort.  Our passing and first touch were a little shaky creating some counter attacks by the Twins that put pressure on the defense and our keeper.  Simone Biggers and Leah Haynes repeated teamed up in the center defensive positions to help control the center of the field while Alex Hill and Natalie McDonald kept pace on the wings.  Mid way through the first half there was a questionable tripping call inside our 18 and the Twins were rewarded with a PK and went up 1-0.  Rebecca Mortensen was very active in the first half making some nice saves from the keeper position to stop three more great scoring chances by the Twins. The Jammers fought back and with about 5 minutes left, Shelby Knowles split the Twins defenders with a great through pass to a streaking Jamie Espinola, who then beat her defender from her right striker position netting the tying goal to end the half.

The second half saw more great effort from both sides with the Jammers having the better of the Twins, however a quick give away put the Twins on the counter attack and they scored to go up 2-1.  The ladies then showed some resilience, Shelby Knowles played a nice ball from the midfield through to the right wing and once again, Jamie Espinola beat her defender and blasted a shot by the Twins keeper to tie the game back up.  The game ended in a 2-2 tie with a nice performance by the ladies earning the team a point in the standings.

Sunday the Jammers faced the (HFC) Highland Football Club out of the Asheville area.  The ladies came out with great intensity and very good passing to begin the contest.  15 minutes in, Lydia Lewis placed a great through pass to Jamie Espinola as she used he speed to beat the Left defender and took the ball to goal, blasting a shot under the diving keeper to put the girls up 1-0.  A few minutes later Jamie returned the favor with a nice assist to Claudia Menjivar as she came from her center striker position to beat the inside back, netting the second goal of the match.  The midfielders for the Jammers combined to have a very good match with Liz Marshall, Ellie Rogowski, Shelby Knowles, Lindsay Masi and Lydia Lewis controlling the midfield.  There were several opportunities for more scoring but each time the keeper from HFC was up to the task of stopping the shots.  Emma Parrish made a great diving save and tipped a shot just wide helping keep the combined clean sheet for the two Jammer keepers. The game ended with a nice 2-0 win and 3 more points for the Jammers keeping them tied for first in the Division.

The Ladies will be back in action the weekend of September 18 with an away contest on Saturday and a home contest on Sunday.

Another year, another successful season ending run culminating in a National Championship for the 92 JSC Jammers Gold. On Tuesday afternoon in Virginia Beach the 92 Gold capped off an unbeaten four day performance to claim the 2009 US Club U16 Boys Premier National Championship with a 2-0 victory over Blackwatch (N.Y.).

It’s the second year in a row the 92s have claimed a National title, winning the 2008 USYS National Director’s Cup - the club’s first National Crown - in the U15 age group a season ago.

This time the opponents and venue were different, but the story line was similar as JSC’s Justin Jones headed home what would turn out to be the game winning goal just 13 minutes into the match off a cross from Pierce Verchick to give the Jammers a 1-0 lead. A season ago Jones scored the championship match’s only goal around the same time in the second half.

JSC would double their lead, and effectively clinch the club’s second title, at the 58 minute mark when Verchick found Matt Shuster for a one time effort that was deflected by the Blackwatch keeper off the post where Marquez Cassidy was waiting to knock home the rebound. From there it was a matter of counting down the minutes until the celebration started.

"It’s been another great year and I’m very proud of the players," said head coach John Watson. "We came up to this event somewhat shorthanded and battled through to take home a second [national title]. The boys should be very proud of their effort and results. They’ve earned it."

The match with Blackwatch was actually the second time the teams had met at the event - the first being the opening round robin game in which Jones and Verchick reversed roles as finisher and crosser to give the Jammers a 1-0 victory.

The second match gave the Jammers a chance at redemption - facing the Pennsylvania North Stars, a team who had earned a 1-0 victory over JSC in the Regionals. Once again poor marking on a dead ball situation bit the Jammers as the North Stars took an early one goal lead and held it into the final minute before the Jammer attack allowed Andrew Daniel to volley a bouncing ball inside the penalty area into the net with 15 seconds remaining to leave the game 1-1.

With four points after two games, the Jammers could assure themselves a place in the national final with a draw against Coral Springs (Fla) in the final round-robin match. JSC got on the board two minutes into the game when Jason Hill’s 30 yard free kick rocketed into the top corner.

"That was one of the better free kicks I’ve seen at this age. Jason is a high level player who instantly makes our attack dynamic because of his vision and knack for distributing the ball, and, of course, his ability to finish."

After the Floridians earned an equalizer, the Jammers added goals from Verchick and Joey Fiorello to make it 3-1. A late goal from Coral Springs wouldn’t matter as JSC took top of the table placement with a 3-2 victory to finish group play with seven points and a 2-0-1 record. Blackwatch earned a spot in the final by defeating North Stars 1-0 to enter the final with a 2-1 record in group play.

"Our defensive effort was terrific over the entire event starting with our goalkeeper and back four. With the level of play from that group this weekend, we truly felt that once we got a lead we were in a good position no matter what kind of pressure our opponents brought. It’s a great building block for our team and allows us to always feel like we have a chance to win."

With their U16 season now complete, the Jammers will head to the U17 Division of the Disney Soccer Showcase Qualifiers over Labor Day weekend in Orlando before the players shift their focus solely to high school soccer until November.

The 92 Jammers Gold in attendance for this weekend’s event: Stephen Moffitt, Justin Jones, Matt Shuster, Colin Taylor, Evan Mobley, Stephen McDaniel, Bart Toe, Andrew Daniel, Pierce Verhchick, Jimmy Miller, Joey Fiorello, Nathan Hayes, Jason Hill, Parker Lee, Clayton Boozer, Nathaniel Buffong, and Marquez Cassidy.
