The West Plains Soccer Association Hosted the 2nd Annual Zizzer Soccer Alumni Game on Friday, July 13 at the WPSA Soccer Park. This year, 22 former Zizzer Soccer Players participated, up from 20 last year. The game was fun to watch. Some players had to shake off some rust before showing flashes of years past. The Red Team won the game with a score of about 9-8, I actually lost count, but I know it ended up close. Scoring goals in the game were Jimmy Miller (2), Zack Parrish, Jacob Plocher (3), Derek Shultz (2), Ryan White, and I can’t remember who else. Anybody know?
Randy Hunt was out to take pictures. There are 35 of them on the flickr site. You can click the picture above to take you there or the Zizzer Soccer Photos link on the right hand column. Bill Weaver and others barbecued Hamburgers and Hotdogs. A nice crowd came out to watch and reminisce. In all, over $300 was raised for the WPSA.
Alumni Participating in the game included: Tony Vaitkevich (Tony wins the prize for the longest trip to thte game, coming all the way from Ohio), Scott Rogers, Levi Jett, Dustin Smith, Zack Parrish, Jimmy Miller, Clay Trautman, Nick Dryden, Cody Townsend, Anthony Jones, Michael Harrington, Ryan White, Kyle Townsend, Josh Ray, Derek Shultz, Matt Saner, James Jeffery, Logan Ray, Brett “Charles” Ozment, Justin Frazier, Jacob Plocher, Brandon McGowen.
Thanks to all who participated, helped out, and came out to watch. If you have any suggestions for next year’s game, send Coach Schmitt an email.
