State Cup  - Spring 2007

West Side Scoreboard - 13/14/15

TNT and Capital Area are generally considered to be Mid-State Clubs

State Cup is the tournament that allows you to play at least 3 games against the top teams in the State.  It is a measuring stick as to where your team actually fits in.  This is the only tournament that the teams from the Detroit area actually take seriously.  There are no guest players allowed.  It allows you to see other the teams in your area that take the game seriously.

In the 13's, 28 teams were accepted, 6 were from the West side and 2 advanced.

  • Grand Valley wins Pool 1 

  • Kingdom Reserves wins Pool 7 - upsets Wolves

In the 14's, 28 teams were accepted, 6 were from the West side and 1 advanced.

  • GV Pass advances as Wild Card

In the 15's, 28 teams were accepted, 7 were from the West side and 2 advanced.

  • Georgetown Rangers wins Pool 3

  • West Michigan Fire Wins Pool 7 

_______________________________________________________________________

19 teams from the West side of the State entered State Cup and only 5 advanced to the quarterfinals.  This is not as good as it should be.  A look at the results indicate that placement of West side teams together in Pool play immediately limits the potential advancement of West side teams.

Club Scorecard:

  • Grand Valley - 2 teams (13,14)

  • Georgetown Rangers - 1 team (15)

  • West Michigan Fire - 1 team (15)

  • Kingdom Reserves - 1 team (13)

________________________________________________________________________

Many good teams did not advance.  Some because of a bad bounce.  Some because of a bad draw which means simply that another Pool in the same age group was significantly weaker. Some because they had one bad game and couldn't afford to.  It is all a great experience.  More teams should enter this yearly tournament and stretch their wings a little.  Great job.

Six teams from the West Side enter. 

Grand Valley SC and Kingdom Reserve's advance as Pool Winners to the Quarterfinals.  GVSC is the favorite to win the State Cup.  The Kingdom Reserves face a big challenge against #3 Vardar Elite 94. 

My prediction for the final:  Grand Valley SC against WAZA Blue.

Seven teams from the West side. 

Georgetown Rangers and West Michigan Fire  advance as Pool Winners to the Quarterfinals.  However, once again, thanks to the wisdom of the State Cup committee they face each other and only one will move on. 

My prediction for the final:  Wolves vs. Ann Arbor.
