ANOTHER TITLE FOR DUTCH FORK - Boys' soccer team repeats as Capital City Cup Gold Division Champion

Gray Collegiate takes runner-up trophy in Silver Division.

Posted

The "winning spirit" at Dutch Fork High School continued Sunday at Chapin High School. 
The Gold Division was captured by the 2nd ranked Dutch Fork boys' soccer team. 
The 2nd ranked boys' soccer team claimed the Gold Division of the Capital City Cup for the 2nd consecutive year. Nearly 24 hours after the boys' basketball team earned its 1st ever Class 5A Lower State title and state title game appearance this Friday, the school's other "football" team defeated top-ranked Wando in the semifinal and Region 5-5A rival and 6th ranked River Bluff in the final.
Both games were decided by a 2-1 score. This marked the 2nd straight year the Silver Foxes had upended the defending Class 5A champions in the tournament. 
Senior Jordan Johnson, who had a goal along with Damon Williams in the finals' win over the Gators, was named tournament Most Valuable Player. 
"This gives us confidence," Dutch Fork head coach Jovan Brdarski said. "It was a good game, but it gives us confidence going ahead." 
The Silver Division was won by SCISA school Hammond. The Skyhawks outlasted Westside 2-1 (11-10 on penalty kicks) in the semifinal and edged Gray Collegiage 1-0 in the final.
Despite the loss in the final, it was still a productive tournament for the Eagles. Head coach Kevin Heise explained bad weather has limited preseason game opportunities and the 5 games provided by the Cup were very beneficial in the development of his team.
"We’re doing a lot of learning right now,” head coach Kevin Heise said. “It’s unfortunate because of the weather, we only got 1 scrimmage and a half in a Jamboree. Generally, we’ve got 4 under our belt right now and we kind of know what we can and can’t do. Because of the weather this month, we’ve haven’t been able to do any of that and I feel like we’re kind of in pre-season, scrimmage mode because we haven’t figured out certain roles.”
