Jon Tuggey's U8 Boys team came back from a mid-week game at Mentor's Kreuger Field with an 8-3 win! They seem to have not missed a beat from last season's campaign, where every week saw fantastic improvement.

To see more soccer, a great option is the Beaumont games at the school between Fairmount and North Park. Ball girls are needed, get in free if you volunteer!

On a hot and humid afternoon, the U11-A boys team battled a tough green-and-white Mayfield team to a 2-2 tie.
The early momentum went to Mayfield, which scored its first goal in the first half, and the second right after half-time. Heights United's keeper for the first half, Will Meyer, was fearless, as usual, challenging the attacking Mayfield players and routinely risking collisions to collect and control the ball.

Here are our game results from this week. Feel free to comment, to put in your own review!

HUSC Week: 5 Wins, 1 Draw, 6 Losses

August 24, 2008, Forest Hill Park

In a warm and sunny season opener, the U10 division 1 boys, "Team Krus", beat Shaker by a score of 5-2, two goals coming from corner kicks! Goals were made by DeGaetano, Hogan (2), Coughlin and McConville. In what has become a team trademark, the boys out-maneuvered Shaker with their superior field positioning and ball control. "They can't score if they don't have the ball," Coach Krus says! Good game, lads!
