MGC SOPHOMORES SIGN FOUR-YEAR SCHOLARSHIPS The last few weeks have been good ones for MGC sophomores as many of them have signed with Division 1 schoools. Leading the way is Maurice Beggs (USC Upstate ) and Enrique Haeussler (University of North Florida ). Also signing on with four-year schools are Jose Abreu (UNC Pembroke Division 2) and Sebastian Eriksson (Bellahave College, NAIA). " We will have three or four more announcements in the next few weeks," said Coach Vinny Gill. "I'm really pleased that our players are being looked at by such good schools."
Three Hardaway soccer players sign with Middle Georgia College They have been teammates for more than three years, playing on Hardaway soccer teams that reached at least the quarterfinals of the state playoffs each season. Seniors David Burke, Keith Lile and Kyle Stewart — each key figures on Rick Iden’s Hawks soccer team — had the opportunity to play collegiate soccer separately at different two- and four-year programs across the South. Instead, they decided to keep the trio together by signing Wednesday with Middle Georgia Junior College . “They’ve really meant everything to the program, as seniors and as leaders,” Iden said. “On the field, they’ve led by example. Like I’ve said in the past, they are not ‘rah-rah’ guys. They are the ones that come ready to play, and, whatever the situation is, they will rise to that occasion.”The three Hawks join Coach Vinny Gill’s program in Cochran, Ga.. “To get three quality players like these is unbelievable from one school,” Gill said. “At my last school, Coach Iden helped me build a program that was top 20 in the country with the players he sent me from Hardaway. I’m excited to have these young men on my team.”The Hardaway players are just as excited. “I liked the coaches there, the environment and the players that were there,” Burke said. “It was just the place I wanted to go.”Stewart, who had interest from Huntingdon College, North Georgia and Young Harris College, said the combination of academics and athletics at Middle Georgia is an attraction.“I thought it was the best offer I received,” Stewart said. Lile said the idea of playing in college with two players he is familiar with would help make the transition easier.“It’s going to be nice to know someone on the team,” he said. “Hopefully, we’ll get the cohesion faster.” Iden said the Hardaway trio does what it takes to win. “Whatever the situation is, I could move them around from year- to-year,” he said. “Their versatility has been valuable to us.”
Landress Signs for Middle Georgia March 9, 2009 Tyler Landress (ht 5'8" wt 145, midfielder) Shady Dale, Georgia signed for Middle Georgia. Landress has won 3 State Championship, a Southeastern Nationals quarterfinalist.Currently, he plays his club soccer for AFC Lightning Premier in the US Academy League. The team is on the verge of qualifying for the US Academy top 32. Tyler attends school @ Piedmont Academy, Monticello Georgia. “I’m excited to sign such a quality player to our program,” said MGC Coach Vinny Gill. “Tyler is an impressive individual both on and off the field.”
REFUGEE GROUP HOSTED BY SOCCER TEAMS On Monday, October 13 the soccer teams hosted a group of refugee children from Atlanta. The group is part of the Fugee Family a soccer program began in the summer of 2004 to offer children of war an opportunity to escape and overcome the harsh realities of their lives. It is the only soccer program dedicated to providing playing opportunities for refugee children in Georgia. Players come from 24 different countries including Afghanistan, Congo, Sudan, Somalia and Bosnia. The program has grown from twenty kids to four boys select teams and a girls team. All participants are required to sign a contract committing to the teams standards and expectations, they are also required to attend tutoring sessions to help with their school work. Being a Fugee provides a sense of belonging to the children that don't have a place they can call home. Prior to coming to the Cochran campus, the players toured the MGC Aviation facility in Eastman. "We were really excited for this opportunity," said Coach Gill. "Soccer is the most international sport and it is great that my players can see that there is a world outside of Cochran which they can join through their love of soccer. I think it was an enriching experience for everyone." For more information on the Fugees Family Program see www.fugeesfamily.org
Three Sophomores Sign for Four-Year Schools Alyssa Schmucker, Jessica Owens and Manurel Zapata will continue their college careers after standout careers at MGC. Schmucker has signed for Brenau University in Gainesville, GA, Owens will play at Thomas University in Thomasville, GA while Zapata crosses the border and will be at Faulkner University in Montgomery, Alabama next year. "I'm excited for them," said MGC coach Vinny Gill. "They are all good players who love the game and it would be sad for them to not play at a different level. I am also excited that they have an opportunity for them to further their education through soccer. From a MGC perspective, it is what we are all about. We want to become a school wher four-year schools look for good players. This is a nice starting place for us.
