| ATHLETE OF THE WEEK (click here for past winners) This week PQSports.com is honoring the PQ Premier BU9 Red Soccer Team This young team of 11 players is coming together quite nicely. The team has displayed some well played soccer with awesome passing sequences and a solid defensive line. Throughout the summer they participated in several tournaments and did quite well. Now, with Presidio League play underway, the PQ Premier BU9 Red team is off to a great start with three victories (Poway 3-1, FC San Diego 4-0 and Impact 7-0). The team is Coached By Steve Bass and Assistant Coach Eric Mitnick. TOURNAMENTS Charity Cup (June 2007) - Champions In an exciting Finals against the Del Mar Sharks Gold, the game came down to penalty kicks. Down to the last kick for each team, PQ's goalie makes a spectacular save and the final goal is scored by PQ to win! Carlsbad Cup (July 2007) - Bracket play Team did not fair so well (1-2). The competition was tough and helped to prepare the boys for stronger teams. Hotspurs Labor Day Tournament (September 2007) Finalists As a last minute entry and through extreme heat and humidity over the Labor Day weekend, PQ Premier BU9 Red won all of their bracket games and their Semi-final game. Advancing into the championship game against the Bonita Rebels, an exciting game awaited the fans and players. The Rebels managed to put a goal in late in the first half to take a 1-0 halftime lead. PQ's defensive line held strong in the second half, not to giving up any more goals. The PQ Premier BU9 Red offense was unable to score against the tough Rebel defense, and finished 2nd with a tough but game 1-0 loss. The game could have gone either way, with shots hitting off the crossbar or missing just wide of the goal by PQ. An exciting game all the way! Team consists of the following players: Tanner B., Ryan C., Tyler D., Nolan D., Nathaniel H., Connor L., Eli M., Noah R., Sean R., Aaron W., Andrew W.
