Girls

Tarryn Johnson (Boca Jrs. 95 Blue) was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes this summer. Since then the family has been busy adjusting to Tarryn's new "routine" and, of course, research the disease.

The Johnson family invites everyone to join them on October 7, 2007, as they take part in the WALK TO CURE DIABETES, sponsored by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).

The walk starts at the west steps of the Capitol and the team will gather under the sign "Team Tarryn." Registration for the walk starts at 8:00 A.M. and the walk starts at 9:00 A.M.

Cherry Island -- The heat of Labor day couldn't keep the U13's from Boca Jrs 94 girls and their friends from Davis, Manteca and Vacaville from coming together to play soccer and have a great time.  Each team had the chance to play closely contested friendly matches against each other centered around a potluck bar-b-q.  Beating the heat was a tough task and the girls played as hard in the sprinklers as they did on the field.  New friends were made and a great time was had by all.

For the last two years, junior Brandi Vega has been showing Carson High School devotees why she's been named to the All-Sierra League team as a point guard in basketball and the Sierra League Offensive Player of the Year for the league-champion Senators' soccer team.

Whether it's on the court or on the pitch, the 5-foot-3 Vega has been an electric presence, the kind of difference maker that catches a spectator's eye and leaves her flustered opponents in the dust.

The 16-year-old Vega recently took her game to Moscow, Idaho, where she was one of 120 girls to attend the 2007 United States Youth Soccer Region IV Olympic Development Program (ODP) camp.

Davis, CA -- The U12 CASA Boca Jrs 95 girl won the 2007 Davis Shootout on four consecutive shut-outs last weekend.  They played three regular games in their four-team flight and a final game for the championship against a rival team from Placer United.

Beaverton, OR (July 23, 2007) -- In their first competitive tournament the U13 Boca Jrs 94 girls finished second after a strong showing, posting 3 wins and a close loss in the finals. The girls scored 19 goals and unfortunately gave up only one during the championship match to finish runner-up.

Two weeks into the soccer season, Beyer High had already lost twice and it looked as if the Patriots were vulnerable following the loss of a strong senior class.

"A lot of good players graduated and about half our team was up from the JV," said forward Jennie Marshall, who just completed her junior season. "That confidence we had last year, it wasn't there because we were young."

It didn't take long for the Patriots to regain their mettle, as Marshall led them on a streak that didn't end until the Sac-Joaquin Section Division I semifinals.

                                              Turlock, CA (June 13, 2007) -- Boca Jrs 95 girls had an eventful day last Saturday in Turlock at the Cal State Stanislaus 6 vs 6 tournament playing against a variety of talented teams, including a tough contingent from Stockton.  The sunny, mild weather and the natural surface of the 50 x 44 playing field were both excellent.  However, the day did not start off well as the big home team, playing down, seemed determined to dominate the event by leveraging their size and aggressive, physical playing style.  Number 4, Bailee Lupton discovered this early in game one when she injured her ankle as she was taken out during a drive down field.  The injury was concerning enough to warrant a trip to the ER for some X-rays which turned up a nasty sprain.

SACRAMENTO , CA (June 11, 2007) -- Jackie Hardesty has recently been awarded the Erika Wiese Humanitarian Award from Franklin Elementary in Elk Grove.  She has been given the $500 college scholarship for the most well rounded 6th grader which includes academics, athletics as well as social awareness.   Jackie plays for the Boca Jrs 94 Girls team coached by Tris Rieland and Chet Grant.  Congratulations Jackie!
