Texarkana United Soccer Club U-14 Coed team ( Rec Level 2 Team) competed in the Red River Classic, and won their first Classic tournament ever. It's probably the first recreational team from Texarkana to win a Tournament playing against Select/Classic/Club teams.
Teams beaten in route to finals, Shreveport United, TDA FC from DFW, and SLFC Cosmos from Oklahoma City.
The team entered the finals after going 2-1 in bracket play, losing to the Cosmos 4-0 in the last game. They got their rematch, and revenge, forcing the game into a 2nd overtime after being down 2-0. Golden goal scored on a corner kick won them the title.
TUSC is coached by volunteer Tony Hartman, former Arkansas High Texarkana Head Coach. Players are a mix of local Jr High students from Texas Middle School, Pleasant Grove, and other area Middle schools.
Way to go, East Texas, showing that they can hold their own against the Big Metro teams!
