Crossfire Premier '91

Crossfire Premier '91 Welcomes Dick McCormick and
Joe Morris to Coaching Staff

As Crossfire Premier '91 gears up for our 7th season of premier soccer in Washington state and Region IV, we are very pleased and excited to announce that Dick McCormick is taking the helm as head coach with Joe Morris as assistant coach. With these proven and talented veteran coaches, the Crossfire Premier '91 squad has high expectations for continued excellent results on a national stage. Peter Hattrup will continue to manage college relations and provide focused skills training for individual team members. Stavros Anastasiou continues in his roles as both assistant coach and chief of administration.

For Coaches Dick and Joe, this is a return to the team they led to three consecutive state championships, a Region IV championship, and a near year-long #1 ranking in the nation. Their young '91s earned a 117-28-12 W-L-T record during their tenure, tallying an incredible 550-119 goals margin, along with 80 shut-outs - all against some of the best teams their age and one year up in Washington state, Region IV and the country. In that three year period, the Crossfire '91 girls went 54-0-0 against all '91 WA teams, with a 287-15 goals margin. In fact, in their dominating 2004 season, no '91 WA team scored on them.

On behalf of the entire '91 team and the Crossfire Club - welcome back, Dick and Joe, and thank you Peter and Stavros - we are privileged to have you all here working together in enabling these girls to further their success on the soccer field, to help them prepare for college, and to ensure they have the most positive, challenging and rewarding experiences possible!
