Returning coaches should also register as soon as possible by following the links on www.mysc.org .This will take you to the Bonzi system.

Field development – MYSC is currently negotiating with local officials to develop a turf field facility.  If you want to be a part of this fantastic opportunity, contact us at http://www.mysc.org/contact/ and select “Volunteer Opportunities”.  We are especially interested in those with expertise in grant writing, environmental engineering/consulting, excavation and artificial turf.

Kamiak Boys Soccer – After defeating Meadowdale 1-0 in a hard fought away match Thursday, the Knights are in second place in Wesco South (1st among 4-A schools) with a 4-2-0 conference record.  They finish the regular season against Jackson, Shorecrest and Mariner.

Mariner Boys Soccer – The Marauders also won their Thursday match against Lynnwood 1-0, putting them at 3-3 in Wesco South and squarely in the hunt for a postseason appearance. Their remaining games are against Glacier Peak, Shorewood and Kamiak.

Muk Cup – That last match between Mariner and Kamiak, at 7:30 today, at Kamiak, is sure to be a thriller. Kamiak is looking to avenge an earlier one-goal loss to Mariner and Mariner wants to put an exclamation point on this season’s dominance of its crosstown rival.  This game will likely have postseason implications for both squads, so come out and support these terrific young scholar-athletes.
