Jackrabbits Nationwide

From Jackrabbit Coach Geoge White

It may seem like the offseason, but…read on:

The Cincinnati U19 and U16 boys teams excelled at the recent national championships, and for the first time ever, Wyoming had two players on the team.  

Rising junior Joe White played on the U19 team, which finished second in the national tournament this weekend.  The 9th seeded Cincinnati team, Flying Pig, went undefeated in pool play on Saturday, and then on Sunday in the championship bracket knocked off 8th seeded Pittsburg, second seeded Seattle, and 7th seeded Boston before falling to North Carolina in the final.  This is the highest finish ever for a Cincinnati boys team, a select team made up of players from multiple schools in the area.  Joe caught goals in three of the four games in the championship bracket, and had a key interception to fuel the win over Boston in the semis.

Rising sophomore Arthur Cilley was on the boys U16 team, the Flying Piglets, which finished 6th in the U16 division of the national championships.

Arthur and Joe will be leaders of Wyoming’s 2015 team, the Jackrabbits.

This was quite an exciting day!
Thanks to Coach White for sharing the great news.  And stay tuned as Coach White travels to Montreal next month to play in the North American Grand Masters (40+) championships.
