Southern Indiana United will have two teams in this year's State Cup tournament, the draw of which was made recently.
SIU's U15 Rampage boys get to play at the highest level after their impressive Indiana State Challenge Cup victory last year, while the U17 boys’ team was also accepted to play in the State Cup tournament.
Rampage, coached by Bruce Rigsby, have been drawn with Cutters (Bloomington), Westside United (Avon) and Fort Wayne Sport Club, with the winners going on to the semi-final.
Last year, Rampage lived up to its name, sweeping all opposition aside in the Challenge Cup tournament and bagging 20 goals in the process, and conceding just one.
The U17s, under the guidance of DJ Barksdale, have been drawn with Fort Wayne Fever Academy, Northern Indiana Futbol Academy and FC Pride, Indianapolis.
The 2008 Indiana State Cup preliminary round will be held from May16-18, with the semi-finals and finals being held on May 31 and June 1 for ages 13-17; and June 7-8, for the ages 18-19.
SIU Rampage, winners of the U14 Indiana Challenge Cup, move up into State Cup company this year.
