Lake, Genoa players help Valentis win Indy Burn Cup

The Valentis Athletica Boys 05 travel soccer team won the Indy Burn Cup Tournament Championship in Indiana the weekend before Easter. 

The boys faced tough competition, including beating the USAI team, ranked sixth in Indiana, and the Missouri Rush, ranked 10th in Missouri. Players from Genoa include Nathan Tipton, Noah Tipson, Tyler Harper, Matthew Lickert, and Wyatt Steinmiller. Players from Lake are Greyson Reed, Jackson Gladieux, Auggie Warton, and Gael Rios.

The Valentis Athletica Soccer Club (VASC) was started by Director Tim Memmer, the Genoa boys head varsity soccer coach, about 20 years ago for offseason training of youth boys and girls soccer players. 

Working with Memmer to coach the Valentis Boys 05 team is Lake head varsity coach Brian Reed.

This year there are nine high school age boys’ and girls’ teams consisting of 30 different schools that travel to various regional soccer tournaments. 

Last fall the club players were awarded 31 all-league, 18 all-district and three all-state honors while playing for their high schools.
