We are sad to announce that for the second year in a row, we will NOT host our much anticipated and much loved alumni game. Heartbreakingly, our Bucks Soccer family lost Mrs. Marian Burroughs, Coach Justin's beloved mother...one year after losing his beloved father. Mr. and Mrs. Burroughs LOVED Bucks Soccer!!! Even at their advanced ages and declining health, they came to many of our home games and cheered not only Justin on but ALL of you, both men's and women's teams/games!!! They braved going up and down that infamous hill, often refusing to sit in the golf cart, because they said if the kids can do it, we can too! They loved sitting in the sidelines, talking to all the parents, and watching their beloved Centurions!!! They knew your names, what positions you played, and all the stories! And one of Mrs. Burroughs' favorite moments in life was when our men's team sung happy birthday to her...she was so very touched! Thank you all for your understanding...we couldn't do it last year after just losing Mr. Burroughs. But since then, I (Tes) lost my beloved mother and now Mrs. Burroughs. We need the time to grieve and regroup. We're both so very close to our parents/families so these losses are greatly affecting us in the worst ways possible. But amongst our grief, we also remember all the wonderful memories and my God, there were SO MANY!!! Thank you all for being so kind, sweet, and respectful to both Mr. and Mrs. Burroughs. They were the reason Justin loved soccer. They taught him the love of family, community, giving, patience, and the fine art of coaching in a fun yet effective way. His father was a legendary coach, producing some phenomenal players and teams. His mother was a huge support, being the ultimate team mom to hundreds of kids. Coach Justin and I hope to continue the example they set. WE. LOVE. BUCKS SOCCER.
