Lonestar SC Girls Showcase Recap
Feb 19 2013 - LSC Staff
Earlier this month, Lonestar hosted another fantastic showcase event for the girl’s program, following on from a very successful boys program showcase over the Thanksgiving weekend. The showcase brought in ninety four college coaches from seventy five different schools. The weekend began Friday evening with a social for the coaches. College coaches came and sat down with the Lonestar staff to go over schedules and talk about individual players. On Saturday and Sunday, over 70 teams competed on 9 fields at Town and Country Fields, and our thanks go to T&C Optimist as it is a great venue to host a Showcase with the fields all closely connected. This allows the college coaches to watch multiple games in one time slot which gives maximum exposure to players. Also, despite the wet and cold, hundreds of people turned out to watch UT Women V’s HBU on Saturday night… with five LSC Alumni on show, the game ended in a 1-0 victory for UT. The feedback from clubs, college coaches, and from players/parents has been great!  Most stating the showcase was a first class event!  We would like to thank players, coaches, volunteers and families for the hard work and support.

 
A Truly Sad Day for Lonestar SC and Austin Soccer
Jan 26 2013 - LSC Staff
photo Lonestar SC is very saddened to report that one of our Lonestar family, Murray Hanson, has passed away. Preliminary indications are that Murray died from a heart condition that he had dealt with for several years. Lonestar SC will communicate service information when available. The Lonestar SC family extends our heartfelt condolences and prayers to Murray's family and many close friends.

A proud native of Canada, Murray played for the Youth National Team, as well as SIU-Edwardsville and the University of Tulsa.  Professionally he played for the Tulsa Ambush of the National Professional Soccer League and semi-professionally for the Tulsa Roughnecks of the US-ISL. Murray was one of Lonestar SC’s longest serving coaches who coached hundreds, if not thousands, of young soccer players at all levels of the game, right here in Austin. He will be missed, and remembered fondly, by everyone at Lonestar SC and in the Austin Soccer Community.

We invite you to share your memories and photos of Murray with us.  CLICK HERE

INDIANAPOLIS, IN – Vancouver Whitecaps FC announced this morning that they have acquired the fourth overall pick in today’s 2013 MLS SuperDraft from Toronto FC in exchange for the tenth overall pick and allocation money. With the fourth overall pick in the 2013 MLS SuperDraft, Vancouver Whitecaps FC selected Generation adidas striker/winger Kekuta Manneh from Austin Aztex of the United Soccer Leagues (USL) Premier Development League (PDL). Check out Manneh's News Here!

Manneh, 18, joins Whitecaps FC after last playing for Austin Aztex in the United Soccer Leagues (USL) Premier Development League (PDL). The native of Madiba Kunda, The Gambia, was named to the 2012 PDL All-Central Conference team after leading the Aztex with 12 goals and nine assists in 13 matches.

“Kekuta brings great pace out wide and is a natural goalscorer,” said Rennie. “He is a versatile player with a natural ability to play on the left or on the right, which isn’t easy to find. I’m very pleased that we were able to select Kekuta.”

Prior to playing in Austin, Manneh scored 23 goals for Lonestar SC U-17/18 in the 2011-12 United States Soccer Development Academy (USSDA) season. In the 2010-11 season, the 5-foot-9, 140-pound striker scored 35 goals in 23 games for USSDA club Texas Rush AJ Auxerre U-15/16.
