NEW LIFE LADIES FOOTBALL HISTORY
2004 - November
Scott Kwak, the former coach of the late champions, the KCPC ladies football
team hoped to start an expansion team at New Life. To his dismay, there were
not enough girls to form a team for that year's Turkey Bowl tournament. Determined,
Coach Scott directed his energy to forming the expansion team by the Spring
of 2005.
2005 - Spring
Talks of a team formation began in the congregation of New Life. Rumor had
it that there were enough girls to form a team. The projected test run for
the team was set for Summer of 2005. The anticipation excited the darling
lady spirits of our church.
2005 - July
In a pick up game during a picnic hosted by New Life, we witnessed the defeat
of our male members in the hands of the ladies. Within that group were the
budding talent that will later be named the stars of New Life Football. The
future was looking bright.
2005 - August
Under the newly acquired leadership of Minah Chang as our QB, we had a rough
task of surrounding her with the right group of talent to complement our fierce
attack. The first signings included a veteran group consisting of Patty Hong
and Helen Son formerly of NCFC in an effort to bolster our defense, Pansy
Lee from Virginia Tech to shutdown any arsenal headed our way, Mailan Aram
formerly of KCPC to solidify our ground attack that was crucial in the KCPC
championship run of 2003 and Linda Kye aka "Lindell" with a championship
attitude that would make our team invincible on air.
2005 - September
Coach Scott was increasingly worried about the line. He knew how crucial it
was for a team to have a solid line for any offense to work. Much prayer and
a miracle was needed to find what he was looking for. After a few days, a
miracle occurred with the addition of Teresa Chang to center the soon to be
dominant line. Next, the addition of Suzanne Kang anchored the team with her
vigilant bulldozing and relentless driving skills. Finally, the addition of
Jee Kim at tight end finalized the dream team of a line that was highly sought
after.
2005 - October
Much to our surprise, we allowed JMU girls to join our team. Hesitant at first
due to the storied team JMU has had over the years, we weren't sure how to
take these ladies who chose our program as opposed to theirs. Quynh Nguyen
and Lois Kwon proved to be more than we bargained for. In fact, we believe
them to be the best talent produced by the JMU system in years. We were very
glad to have them in our tandem.
2005 - November
The last additions were the finalization of having Priscilla Park and Stephanie
Liptak to man our defensive line. Our team was complete with these last additions.
Practices were coming together and we were on our way to become a true contender
in the Turkey Bowl Championship Series.
2006 Soon to Come..
