JONES BRIDGE SOCCER’S U14 BREAKERS GO TO STATE

Posted by admin on June 6, 2010  |  No Comments

This year Jones Bridge Soccer’s (JBS) U14 Breakers won Georgia’s fall cup in November with one team, and swept through their spring season undefeated with a brand new young team.  They scored an unprecedented 64 goals with only 2 goals against winning their Division.  Then the Breakers won their District May 16-17 against the mighty SDY Jaguars to go to the State Championship in Columbus May 22-23, 2010.

The Spring 2010 Breakers are: Brooke Adams, Laura Braden, Katelyn Carpenter, Brittany and Colette Collins, Christa Davoll, Sarah Doverspike, Amanda Gilmore, Victoria Haney, Abby Jordan, Deanna Lanham, Ellie Lester, Regan Lochmandy, Taylor Panther, Rene Rindik, Sophie Ryland, McKinley Smoke, Elizabeth Waid, Lauren Watts, and Coach Andrew Collins.

In the state round they faced off with the KFC Tigers in a 3-0 victory.  In game two they beat the Villa Rica Chargers 1-0, and in game three beat the Hinesville Gators on Sunday morning 2-1.  Making it to the championship game Sunday afternoon was a feat for this brand new team.  Battling the older and former select LSA Jaguars, the final game ended in a 0-3 loss for the Breakers, leaving them the second ranked team in Georgia.

The Breakers play out of Jones Bridge Park on East Jones Bridge Road in Peachtree Corners.  JBS was affiliated with Georgia Soccer two years ago, and is growing strong as they welcome the following five new teams to the club:  two U12 girls teams, the U14 Lady Shockers Nation, the U16 Lady Shockers Nation, and the U16 Breakers.  The club plans to have a boys and girls league for Fall 2010 with the addition of five new girls teams.  For more information go to www.pbcsports.net or leave a message on the hotline # 678-587-8889.

Jones Bridge Soccer’s U14 Breakers Win 2009 Kohl’s Cup

Posted by admin on November 18, 2009  |  No Comments

Jones Bridge

Jones Bridge Soccer’s (JBS) U14 Breakers won their second Kohl’s American Cup November 15.  On Saturday they tied the first game with Jefferson Football Club 2-2.  The second game versus the Columbus Girls Inc. was a sound victory 9-0.  The Breakers cinched their place for the final game with a victory against the Fayette County Wildcats 6-0 in game three.  The final game versus the Henry County Sidekicks was a physical game resulting in two injured Breakers.

The first score of the final game came relatively early for the Breakers and then a hard fought battle ensued.  In the last 10 seconds of the game the Sidekicks were awarded a penalty kick which tied the game.  The game went into 10 minutes overtime where the Breakers held the line.  The game was decided in a 5 PK (penalty kick) shootout which gave the Breakers the victory 2-1!

The Breakers play with JBS out of Jones Bridge Park on East Jones Bridge Road in Peachtree Corners.  The club is formerly known as Peachtree Booster Club Soccer.  Congratulations to the mighty Breakers!
