The Tournament Highlights

The atmosphere in Oxford was electric as teams from across the region gathered to showcase their talent. The River Belles fueled their victory with a series of strategic plays and powerful performances. Each match strengthened their bond as teammates and raised their spirits with each win.

After triumphing in four consecutive games, the River Belles emerged as champions, securing their spot in the hearts of Vicksburg’s sports community.

Vicksburg’s Sporting Spirit

And not only is the local soccer scene thriving, but Vicksburg native Sam Semi, Jr. is also making headlines down in Texas. His impressive skills are turning heads, and it looks like he’s on his way to becoming a household name in the Lone Star State. Sam’s success is a proud moment for our community, showing that Vicksburg athletes are competing and excelling at high levels beyond their hometown.
