Chazy season under way

The defending NY State champion Chazy Eagles got their season under way last week, hosting the Frankie Garrow Memorial tournament played annually in honor of former Chazy soccer player Frankie Garrow, who passed away in a tragic car accident in 2009.

In the first game, Chazy shut out Beekmantown 2-0 to advance to the championship game.

In the finals, though, the Eagles lost a tough one to PHS, 1-0.

Video of the game is here, on the Hometown Cable network site.


Last year, Chazy lost a close game to PHS in the final of the Garrow tournament, but things worked out just fine, as that would be the only defeat of the year for Chazy, who finished with a 21-1 record and a state championship. This defeat won't be a problem if this year turns out anything like last season.

In a big change, this year Chazy will be competing in a new league, in Division II of the Northern Soccer League. The Eagles will be joined in the division by longtime MVAC rivals Elizabethtown, Westport and Willsboro, along with larger schools Lake Placid, Northern Adirondack, and Seton Catholic. The league this year will definitely be a tougher challenge, competing against the larger schools, but the Eagles should be up for the challenge.

The Press-Republican last week published a preview of the season, complete with rosters of all the teams.

The Chazy Varsity Boys Soccer Alumni Facebook page has posted a schedule for this season:
Frankie Garrow Memorial Tournament

09/01 - Beekmantown W 2-0 (1-0-0)
09/03 - Plattsburgh L 0-1 (1-1-0)

09/12 - at Northern Adirondack W 4-0 (2-1-0)
09/14 - Elizabethtown
