As your career at West Side Alliance comes to a close, I want to thank you for what you, individually and as a team, have done for our club and  help you recall how far we have come.

   When the WSA 87girls team had it's first try-out in 1997, five players showed up. When that team formed it was the first WSA girls team since WSA 81G. You and your parents worked so hard to keep our team alive those first few years.

   WSA 87girls was so focused on the struggle to remain a team, that you may have not have noticed that you not only kept your team, you also created the WSA girls side of our club. Where there was once only one struggling WSA girls team there are now seven strong teams. This is your soccer legacy. Years ago, many of your friends tried out for a soccer team, you tried out for a soccer team and BUILT a club.

   While watching you grow as young women and players, I have continued to be impressed with your strength, fortitude and honesty. I wish you all the best of luck. You are and always have been the greatest 87 girls soccer TEAM in Oklahoma.
