Trinity Hosts 1st TCS Soccer Showcase
By Samantha DePriest
On Saturday, March 4th Trinity Christian School hosted the “TCS Soccer Showcase” for more than a dozen high school soccer teams from all over Georgia. After a rainy and windy week, the weather couldn’t have been any better for some friendly competition. If it’s one thing TCS Director of Soccer and Varsity Boys Soccer Coach Mike Townson knows, it’s that athletes are eager to have as many opportunities to play the sport they love as possible.
Coach Townson shared, “TCS had the great opportunity to showcase our top notch facility in the TCS Soccer Showcase. We had some of the best teams in the state playing in front of college coaches. Anything we can do to promote our players we will do to help get them into college.” As a result of the showcase, several high school soccer players received offers from college coaches. We couldn’t be more excited for these student athletes and what is in store for them this Fall!
Coach Aaron Wessner from Sprayberry High School shared, “Trinity Christian provided one of the best showcases that Sprayberry has ever taken part in. The facilities were amazing and Coach Townson’s tireless efforts to make sure our players had access to college coaches and were able to discuss their abilities are unmatched. I would highly suggest other teams bring their players to this showcase in the future so that their players can be highlighted like ours have been.”
Coach Bobby Jarwoski from GMC High School shared, “The showcase was able to squeeze our Girls teams into the lineup at the last minute. Both of our teams had an amazing time seeing a different areas of the state, and teams we might not have ever had a chance to play. The showcase itself ran smoothly, had great facilities, and had some really cool ammentities to offer the kids, parents, and fans. College coaches were present and spoke with our players. As a coach, we hope to extend opportunities for all of our kids. This event checked every box.”
Coach Jon Callahan from LaGrange High School shared, “My team and I greatly enjoyed the showcase event at Trinity Christian School!
Coach Townson and his staff at TCS really rolled out the red carpet for us and all the teams involved. Their first class facilities as well as great and diverse competition really made for an outstanding event in front of many college coaches. We will certainly be back next year.”
Andrews College Head Coach Kyle Griffith shared, “The TCS Soccer Showcase was a fantastic event! Coach Townson organized and ran this showcase as well or better than any tournament or showcase I have ever attended. I came away super impressed with the soccer that was on display. This will definitely be an event that Andrew College Men’s Soccer attend every year!”
Local food truck owner Mike Chavez and his “Biscuits & Burrito’s” business kept all of the players and parents well few with their delicious food. There wasn’t a time between games when there wasn’t a line of hungry folks at their food truck.
With the help of from the Sprayberry High School team, our Boys soccer team and Trinity Soccer parent, Weston Godfrey, put their brand new TEQball table together and had some fun with it before they took the field for their 8pm game. Our Varsity Boys soccer team are now 3-3-3 for the season and 1-0-0 in Region after their 7-2 win against Fayette High School last Friday night.
If you have a child who is interested in soccer, it’s couldn’t be a better time to get them involved in the growing program here at Trinity. It’s a great time to be a Lion!
