Last weekend the adult soccer Iowa State Games were held in Ames. Luther had a team represented. Central had two teams, one Sr-Jr team and one Fr-Soph team. I saw at least one player with a Wartburg t-shirt on during pre game but don't know if they had a full team or if he was just on a make up team. The fields were rock hard but the games were fun. In the end a team with some Central alumni took the crown. This was a first look at some of the new recruits.
Who from Central was on the winning team at the Iowa Games? Neither the Central teams or the Luther teams advanced....not a good sign for current college players getting beat by old guys like me... Played the Luther team and was not impressed....granted that was not their entire team, but still... Seeing some of the current IIAC players makes me think the league was stronger a couple years ago..
From looking at the Iowa Games website, they had the rosters for the teams on there. Eric Bentzinger and Eric McDonald were both on the winning team.
My bad on that one. Nickel was that team...he either scored or took the focus away from the other players.
You are correct..played 2 seasons at DC United and decided to come back to Des Moines and live his true soccer dream... Playing in the Iowa Games and dominate local pick up and indoor games. He is actually a friend of mine and really cool kid..too bad the MLS thing didn't work out for him.
yeah I got a wedding to go to, so I won't be making it up. I'm trying to check my schedule with the Central schedule to make a trip up there for a game. I think I've found a date but it's late in the season. Since my brother is going to Drake now I may make the trip up in Oct for the game against Luther and then go to the Drake game that night. On that note, it's time to start the 07 thread. And here it is: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?p=12539063#post12539063
