SFCS Middle School Soccer Team Opens With A Win       

September 4, 2007 -The Shannon Forest Christian School Middle School Soccer team opened its season with a victory over Statesville Christian.  Some of the highlights from the game included a long cross from Devon Tyson to Baxter Ballenger for first score and a direct kick from Tyson to Breilen Beamon for the second score.  The Crusaders’ tough defense allowed only six shots to SFCS goal.  This puts the team at 1-0 on the year.  The Crusaders will face a big game this week at Christ School on Tuesday, September 4 at 4:00 p.m. and will participate in the Mitchell Road Christian Academy Jamboree on Friday, September 7, and Saturday, September 8.

The final score was SFCS 2 - Statesville 0

Things did not work out so well for Shannon Forest’s varsity team. They lost to Statesville Christian’s varsity soccer by a score of 3-0 in a very disappointing shut-out match.
