The Barbarians also hosted their End-of-Season Awards Banquet last week, honoring the time, commitment and success of the players (and parents!). Coach Trevor Anderson had this to say:
The 2009 Barbarian season was a huge success. We fielded an Under-15 side for the first time ever with many of the young athletes being instrumental in the U17's State Championship win! A couple stand out players, Tossi McCarthy and Justin Henry are going on to represent the Budd Bay Barbarians as Pacific Northwest U17 Loggers - our regional representatives.
In a real tough U19 division, we saw our Barbarians rise to Budd Bay's standard of class, courage, and commitment, placing 3rd in Washington State while sending over half a dozen young men on to the U19 Loggers. Taylor Briscoe led the way as both a force and a leader on the pitch during our matches and training, earning a spot on the Logger team as Forwards Captain. Taylor was also selected to represent the United States during a recent trip to South Africa to play for the USA U18 Eagles at the World Championships. With the many team-wide successes this year, we expect big things from our Barbarians heading into next years season!
We also look forward to seeing those graduating Barbarians in the area stick around and apply their skills at the senior level, competing with Barbarian alumni and the rest of the Buffaloes as they strive to defend this year's title and the #14 national ranking.
