THE
MARAUDERS ARE BACK-TO-BACK CLASS 5A STATE CHAMPIONS!
INCREDIBLE!

News:
The Marcus
Marauders Football Club truly staked their claim as one of, if not, the
Nation's leading HS soccer programs as it cruised to it's second straight
Texas Class 5A State Championship. The Marauders defeated Klein 3-0
with goals from Josh Mensah, Eric Przybysz and Eric Frazier.
Marcus stormed
out of the blocks and put Klein under all sorts of pressure. The
pressure paid off midway through the first half as Gino DePaoli clipped a
ball into the box from the left that was flicked on by Chad
Caldwell. Mensah's first touch was sublime before he rifled the ball
home with his right foot.
Ten minutes
later, DePaoli's sweet left foot found Przybysz in stride, who deftly
placed the ball into the bottom corner of the net to make it 2-0 to the
defending State Champions.
The second
half saw Klein begin to create some offense, but the stonewall defending
of the Marauders, that conceded only one goal in the entire playoff run,
held firm. Jared Jacob's was faultless behind Randy Wright,
Christian Dahlskog, Luke Boyd and DePaoli.
Then with
twelve minutes remaining, captain Eric Frazier received a perfect through
ball from Przybysz, before collecting himself and burying the ball in the
far corner past the helpless Klein goalkeeper to seal the deal.
Throughout the
game, Marcus' Sam Garza was in inspired form as he controlled the
game. Inch perfect passes, a knack for being where the ball was and
complete control on the ball allowed the Marauders to dictate the pace of
the game. Garza was named State Tournament MVP for his classy
contributions.
The Marauders
finished their incredible season with a 26-3-3 record and back-to-back
Texas Class 5A State Champions.
Marcus
Marauders FC - A Dynasty!
