TOURNAMENT
CHAMPIONS
Congratulations to
our JV1 boys who won the Marcus JV Tournament this past weekend.
They beat Allen in the final 1-0. Freshman Danny Blaney scored the
decisive goal after he coolly tucked away his effort after fellow freshman
Trace Marshall clipped a ball to him at the far post with twenty minutes
remaining in the second half.
The boys drew with
Keller and Grand Prairie before beating Sam Houston in group play to
advance to the final.
CONGRATULATIONS

GALL GETS
200th CAREER WIN
Flower Mound, TX -
January 13, 2012:
In a week where the Marauders announced their first player to sign a
professional soccer contract, more celebrations are in order as Head Coach
John Gall
picked up his 200th career win, in only 271 games in charge.
Welshman Gall, a former Wales U18 National Team player, professional
player and collegiate All-American took over at Marcus in 2001, as a
twenty-five year old. Since then, he has led the Marauders to
national prominence with a National Championship in 2007, back-to-back
Class 5A State Titles in 2007 and 2008 and five district championships in
a row between 2006 and 2010.
Gall has twice been named the NSCAA National Coach of the Year finalist,
NSCAA Regional Coach of the Year and NSCAA State Coach of the Year.
He was named the Dallas Morning News All-Area Coach of the Year in 2007.
"I am very proud of reaching 200 wins. My vision in 2001 was to put
Marcus FC in a place where our players, who passed through over the years,
could look back with pride on what they were part of. I still am in
contact with players from as far back in 2001, that, more than any
accomplishment, means that my vision is a reality", said Gall.
The Marauders are currently busy with their 2012 season, a season in which
they are competing for their third Class 5A State Title in six seasons.

Former
Marauder Standout Sam
Garza Turns Pro
Flower
Mound, Texas - December 22, 2011: Marcus Marauders FC are today
celebrating another milestone as former standout Sam
Garza has signed a three year professional contract with Major
League Soccer's Generation Adidas. He has become the first
Marauder Boys Soccer player to sign a professional contract in its
illustrious history.
Garza, the Highland Village native, has one year of eligibility
remaining at UC Santa Barbara, but the lure of a professional contract
has prompted him to forego his senior year. "The great thing
for me is that by signing a GA contract, I have a clause that allows me
to finish my academics while playing professionally. My education
has always been very important and I plan on finishing what I
started", said Garza. "My dream has always been to be a
professional soccer player, and now that the opportunity has presented
itself, I'm taking it with both hands. I am so happy", he
added.
Garza was named a NSCAA All- American while at Marcus High School.
He was named the Gatorade Texas Player of the Year as a senior while
picking up back-to-back Class 5A State Championships with the Marauders.
He was named to the UIL All-Century 2nd Team and holds the record at
Marcus HS for most goals in a season (26 in 2007).
"It was a pleasure coaching Sam. I've said it many times, but
this truly is a young man destined for the top. His work ethic,
attitude, team mentality and sheer competitive edge separates him from
the rest. He's been gifted with
an incredible amount of natural ability and athleticism, but you won't
find another player that works as hard to continue to grow", stated
John Gall, Head Boys Soccer Coach at Marcus HS. Gall continued,
"What I enjoy most about Sam is that he is humble, down to earth
and someone you can count on, always. He has a great family and I am so
proud to watch a young man fulfill his dreams".
Garza will attend the MLS combine in early January where he will be
scouted by MLS coaches. He will then be placed in the 2012 MLS
draft. Stay tuned to find out which MLS team will draft him.
In the meantime, you'll find Garza training hard every day, right here
at the place he calls home - Marcus HS.
