Region III ODP Teams hit the road to Mexico
4 Oklahomans are on the rosters
The US Youth Soccer Region III Olympic Development Program enjoyed a successful trip to Mexico last year, which showed off the quality from the South region of the States against some top academies.
This year, Region III ODP made the trip again with the 1997, 1998, and 1999 age groups. The three teams combined to go 7-3-2 on the trip.
Dakotah Bainter
4 Oklahoma players Whitney Gonsalves (99), Dakotah Bainter (98), Tristan Tippeconnic (97), & Austen Parker (97) were on the rosters.
The 99 age group, under the direction of Darren Powell, went undefeated south of the border with wins over Chivas San Rafael (3-0), Atlas (7-0), and Estudiates Tecos (4-2). The youngsters, which featured U.S. U14 Boys National Team pool member Jonathan Amon, played to a 1-1 draw with Selection Jalisco State in their opening game.
The 98 age group, which was coached by Trevor Adair, netted wins over Chivas San Rafael (2-0), Atlas (4-2), and Estudiantes Tecos (2-1), but dropped the opener to Chivas (3-4).
The ‘97s featured seven players who were also on the tour last year. Despite the experience, the oldest age group to make the trip dropped the opening clash against Chivas by a 1-5 score. The 97s then played Chivas San Rafael to a 1-1 draw, but lost the next clash 3-2 to Atlas. The ODP squad did end the trip to Guadalajara on a winning note with a 2-1 win over Estudiantes Tecos in the last game.
Region III also made a trip to Costa Rica back March with the 1996 and 1995 age groups. The 95s, led by coach Wolfgang Suhnholz, went 4-0-0 in San Jose with wins over the Costa Rica U17 Men’s National Team (1-0), Saprissa (1-0), Belen(5-3), and Alajuela (3-0). The 96 squad, coached by Ken Fogarty, nabbed a 2-1 win over Belen, but lost the other three games.
