Toward the end of Jack Britt's final practice heading into its Mid-South Conference tournament championship game with Terry Sanford, four of the Buccaneers' freshman led a cheer to get the team motivated and recited it again before the opening kick. Two of those freshman played a major role in the game and also etched their lore in Jack Britt soccer history. Tatum Brookes had a goal and two assists, including the game-winning pass to senior Rayleen Orello in Jack Britt's 3-2 double overtime thriller against Terry Sanford. Twin sister Tess Brookes had a goal and assist for Jack Britt (17-2-1) as the Buccaneers captured their first tournament championship in school history. "It was all about maintaining our intensity," Tess Brookes said. "We hadn't done anything like this all season but the freshman wanted to try it because of how big of a game this was and it worked."
Jack Britt got on the board just two minutes into the contest with Tess Brookes trickling a shot past star goalkeeper Karly Gustafson. The Bulldogs (14-7-1) would counter in the 24th minute of the first half on a Kristie King goal. The teams would head into halftime tied at 1. Jack Britt played aggressively throughout the game, dominating time of possession and taking 35 shots on goal to Terry Sanford's 11. Still, the teams went to overtime on the same score due to the Bulldogs' defense and Gustafson making plays on her way to 16 saves. Tatum Brooks scored two minutes into the first overtime to give Jack Britt a 2-1 advantage, but King scored with 1:47 remaining to tie things up again and send the game into a second overtime.
Finally, with 6:59 remaining Orello took a pass from Tatum Brookes and scored the tournament-winning goal.
"Tatum made the pass and I knew I had to make a play for the team," Orello said. "It's a great feeling knowing we were able to accomplish this." After finishing second to Terry Sanford in conference and in the tournament last season, Jack Britt coach Natt Bunphithak witnessed the Buccaneers get their retribution.
"I knew coming into the season this was going to be a great team," Bunphithak said. "They played hard, worked together and they're reaping the benefits."

Despite the loss of several seniors to graduation, including Cumberland County's top scorer in Ali Heath, Jack Britt High School's soccer team set goals of winning the Mid-South 4-A Conference regular season and tournament titles this year.
With the regular season nearing an end, forward Nancy Kirk has been a major factor in helping the Buccaneers get closer to achieving both goals. This season, Kirk has helped lead Jack Britt to a 15-2-2 record, including a 11-0 mark in conference play. The Buccaneers are on the verge of winning their first regular-season title in school history. "It's been a solid year," Jack Britt coach Natt Bunphithak said. "I knew we had a talented group from the beginning and our tough nonconference schedule has helped us get ready for conference play." Last season, powered by Heath's 33 goals, the Buccaneers finished second in conference behind Terry Sanford and had their season ended at 19-7-1 in the first round of the playoffs. Even though Jack Britt lost four senior starters and is playing four freshmen this season, Kirk has been impressed by what this season's squad has been able to achieve thus far. "This year, the team is a lot younger but we have more skill," Kirk said. "We had a very good team last year, but we had some inconsistency. This season, we've played better together."
Bunphithak has watched Kirk mature, and is impressed with her determination to improve. "When Nancy came into the program as a freshman, she struck me as someone who was eager to learn on the offensive and defensive side of the ball," Bunphithak said. "She has put in a lot of work throughout her career, can score from either side and her speed of play has improved." Kirk's development showed in last season's stats, with 21 goals and 13 assists. This year, Kirk has already surpassed her goal count with 23 and has added nine assists (before Monday's game at Seventy-First). Her aggressive play and awareness have been integral in her ability to score or set up a teammate. "I've played soccer since I was 7, so it's in me to make plays," Kirk said. "I feel like I have a good vision of the field and I can do what I need to do to help my team win." "Nancy's key utility is being an offensive threat," Bunphithak added. "She's well-known around the conference and other teams key in on her, allowing her teammates to shine." As one of three seniors, Kirk has been taking on a greater leadership role. "I just try to set an example and show some of the younger players how it's done," Kirk said.
Kirk, who will be playing for Division I Louisiana-Monroe next year, has been enjoying this year and believes the Buccaneers will be a force to be reckoned with in the NCHSAA postseason.
"We've grown a lot throughout the season and I feel like we can get several wins in the state playoffs," Kirk said

Nancy Kirk credited a little familiarity with opposing goalkeeper Karly Gustafson with helping her squeak Jack Britt's lone goal past the Terry Sanford goalie. "Karly and I play on the same club team, so I know how she plays, and she knows how I play," the senior said. "I just kind of snuck around the defender and tapped it in." Kirk's first-half goal was enough to secure a 1-0 Britt win at Terry Sanford on Wednesday. With the win, the Buccaneers (10-1-2, 6-0-0) remain undefeated in the Mid-South 4-A Conference and in first place ahead of Terry Sanford (7-4-1, 5-2-0). Kirk struck just inside the sixth minute of play. Kirk moved to the side of Terry Sanford's last defender just inside the 18-yard box to coral a ball served from about 30 yards out. The ball ricocheted between Kirk and the defender before Kirk tapped the ball past Gustafson, who was charging out of the keeper's box. Kirk's 17 goals on the season leads Cumberland County. Bucs' coach Natthaphon Bunphithak said Britt didn't control the pace of the game as much as it did when the teams met March 4 for a 4-0 Britt win. "We didn't want to get into a back-and-forth physical game with them," the coach said. "After Nancy's score, we changed the formation to 3-4-3 to put more of an offensive threat." Neither offense was able to produce a goal for the rest of the game. Terry Sanford generated some opportunities with attempts on goal by midfielder Taylor Petroski and forward Kirstie King. Terry Sanford coach Karl Molnar, in an effort to juice up the Bulldogs' offense, moved Gustafson from the goal to left forward with six minutes left to play. "We never, not once all night, played defensively. We attacked all night long," Molnar said. "We made a few more mistakes than they did, and they were able to take advantage of those mistakes."

It wasn't a good night for the Jack Britt offense. Even when visiting Clayton was forced to go to relief in the goalkeeper's net, the frustrated Buccaneers couldn't find a way to score.
Meanwhile, Clayton got the only goal it needed barely five minutes into the contest. Ashley Sainz connected from about 40 yards out as the Comets played strong defense the rest of the night and won 1-0.
The victory came in the opening round of the state 4-A girls' soccer playoffs Tuesday at Britt. Clayton, 10-8-2, advances to the second round of the playoffs Saturday against the winner of a first-round match between East Wake and Wilmington Hoggard.
Britt, the No. 2 team from the Mid-South 4-A Conference, ended its season 19-7-1.
The Bucs appeared to get new life with just under 12 minutes in the game when Clayton goalkeeper Jaimie Tahir was hit with her second yellow card of the night and had to go to the bench. A senior, Tahir was replaced by sophomore Lauryn Kubrich.
"That's about as tough a situation as she could have come in," Clayton coach William Williams said.
But Kubrich managed to fend off two corner kicks and one direct kick in the closing minutes as the Britt offense failed to produce a goal.
Britt coach Natthaphon Bunphithak didn't think Clayton's Tahir was playing dirty in goal, just aggressively. Both yellow cards she got were for going through opposing players while trying to get to the ball.
"We had plenty of chances," Bunphithak said. "We got two breakaways and didn't put it away and they got an awesome outside shot (for their goal)."
Britt captain and midfielder Nicole Chinlund said it was frustrating not to capitalize on chances to score. "They were on their heels at one point and I thought we had it," she said. "We played our hearts out tonight."
Bunphithak said it always hurts when you fall behind early in a playoff game, but he still thought his team could do it.
"Mentally it's tough to come back, but we've been coming back all year," he said. "We were down early against Terry Sanford and came back and tied them.
"We battled back the last 10 or 15 minutes. We were on their backline plenty of times."
Despite the loss of Cumberland County scoring leader Ali Heath, who is moving to Virginia, Bunphithak expects to have a strong team next year.
"Somebody's got to fill her shoes," he said. "Nancy Kirk will be back and Macy Creech will step up to fill that role. She's only a freshman."
Clayton 1 0 - 1
Jack Britt 0 0 - 0
Goals: C - Sainz
Terry Sanford forward Courtney Deblois, still cradling the Most Valuable Player plaque in her arms after her team's Mid-South 4-A Conference tournament win, said she was quite surprised to have earned the title of tournament MVP.
"It just came out of nowhere," Deblois said.
Not quite nowhere. The senior scored three goals in a 4-1 win over Jack Britt (19-6-1) to add the tournament title to the Bulldogs' list of season achievements. Terry Sanford (16-4-2) had already secured the No. 1 seed in next week's NCHSAA 4-A state playoffs by winning the Mid-South conference regular season.
The Bulldogs built a 3-0 lead in the first half, with Deblois striking first with just under 30 minutes to play.
Freshman forward Kirstie King served the ball from the right side near the goal line to Deblois, positioned close to the near post. Deblois used two touches to dump the ball past Buccaneer keeper Karissa Henry.
The assist was one of three for Kirstie King, who found Taylor Petroski and Deblois twice to help the Bulldogs' cause.
The conference tournament final marked the third meeting between the rivals this year. The Bulldogs won both regular season meetings.
"Even though it didn't affect our seeding for the state tournament, this game was still important to us," Deblois said. "We feel like we have to prove that we deserve to be conference champions every time we step on the field."
Britt coach Natt Bunphithak said his team didn't adjust to Terry Sanford's aggressive style.
"We made small, fundamental mistakes in the first half, and we didn't recover very well," the coach said. "Terry Sanford just came out and played hard."
Terry Sanford coach C.J. Komons said in a pregame interview that the match would be hard fought. The players proved him right, as two from each side were cautioned with yellows cards.
Nancy Kirk, already carded in the first half, had the lone goal for the Bucs, scoring in traffic inside the goal box three minutes into the second half. Kirk received a second yellow card and was sent off with 19:56 left to play.
Bunphithak said he wasn't sure if the two cards would keep Kirk out of the first round of the playoffs.
Komons said he expects to find out his team's opponent for the opening round of the state playoffs some time this weekend.

Where do we go from here?
Britt finished second in conference. Britt consistently started five seniors, two juniors, one sophomore and three freshmen throughout the 2011 season. The JV team was very competitive and finished with a 13-3 overall record. The 2012 tryouts will be very competitive.
There is a huge difference between the skill level of club players and non club players. This difference was evident with several of the young Britt players who play club ball compared to those who don’t.
Bottom line- the more touches you get on the ball and practice during the off season (club ball or not), you will develop into a better player.
2012 concerns/needs: an established Goalkeeper and a physical presence on defense and at the mid-field.
2012 Strengths: team speed with strong sophomore class.
If you would like to get a head start on your competition for the 2012 season you may want to focus on the following:
· Playing soccer during the High School off season.
· Attend summer soccer camps.
· Play other sports and run during the off season to stay active.
· Show-up to the 2012 Jack Britt tryouts dedicated to the team and IN SHAPE.

Where do we go from here?
Britt was still able to finish second in a new conference. Britt consistently started one senior, six juniors, two sophomores and two freshmen throughout the 2010 season. The JV team was very competitive towards the end of the season. This means with losing only three seniors and two other players due to relocation- the 2011 tryouts will be very competitive.
There is a huge difference between the skill level of club players and non club players. This difference was evident with several of the young Britt players who play club ball compared to those who don’t.
Bottom line- the more touches you get on the ball and practice during the off season (club ball or not), you will develop into a better player.
