Week Two Results
Topeka Select continued to put several teams in the medal rounds.  The under-10 Stunners won their pool and their semi, then lost in the championship.  A new team this season, they have done an outstanding job. Watch out for them in the future!  The under-14 Rockets made the most of a wild card, winning their semifinal and then won the championship 1-0.  The under-16 Rockets finished with the sliver medals and second place.    Great job ladies!!!

Little Apple Invitational - August 18-19th
The newly formed Stunners, our Under-10 girl’s team, finished second in the Manhattan Little Apple tournament held August 18-19.  They took their competition to a PK shootout after being tied in the final five minutes of the championship game.  Not bad for a team which only had two practices and a scrimmage before going to Manhattan.  The future looks bright for these girls!  The team is coached by Chris White and Gary Krogman.  The team is trained by Jerry Stamm.

Select Dragons Mystify Spectators At Little Apple Invitational
The new addition to the Topeka Select Soccer Club, The Green Dragons (U14B,) caused an unforeseen upset in the Little Apple Invitational in Manhattan last weekend. This is the first year the Green Dragons have been officially under the Topeka Select banner, and with this hard fought victory it has allowed them to settle nicely into such a successful club.

The weekend kicked off with a local derby against Prodigy Eclipse, which the Green Dragons won 3-0. An OG from Eclipse started the scoring after a tight first 15 minutes. The second goal came from great work by Kyle Packer down the right flank who then squared the ball to Vivek Jadhav, who slotted the ball easily by the Eclipse keeper. Finally a great finish by Jamieson Wheeler from just inside the 18yd box capped off a great result for the Green Dragons.

he Second game against Prodigy Nitro, who are seeded much higher than the Dragons was extremely close. Nitro showed their higher rank with good passing and skill, but great defending and extreme hard work from the Dragons saw them draw the game 0-0 and pretty much sealed a place in the final.

The final group game against Salina Legends was again a tough test of character for the Dragons, who just needed to draw the game to make the final. Going in at half time 1-0 down, due to sloppy marking, the Dragons dug deep and fought out an equalizer with a cheeky lob from Josh Ellis to make the final against the Little Apple Soccer Club from Manhattan. The final was played with great spirit from both teams, and was a true back and forth battle from one end of the field to the other. Nobody could break the deadlock in normal time or extra time, so it was a PK shoot-out. The Green Dragons held there nerve and won on a score line of 3-1 with some great saves from the Dragons keeper Jacob Cottman.

The Dragons face their first ever test in the premier league this weekend, so lets hope the lads do themselves and the club proud this weekend, and the rest of the season. The team is coached by Alan Burke who has great help and support from Rusty Simerl and Derek Ellis, as well as all the parents.
