MacKenzie was born on February 17, 1995, and quickly stole the hearts of her family by her sweet ways and later by her fierce independence. No matter what new skill she was tackling--whether learning to ride a bike or learning to roller blade--she wanted to be shown one time, and then take off on her own. At the age of 4, MacKenzie began to play soccer and became an outstanding member of her team. In her current position as goalie, she felt a strong pride to protect the goal from the other team--even wanting to do so one time with a broken finger! And could MacKenzie score goals? Absolutely! She was amazing, showing her team her competitive edge during games and tournaments. MacKenzie was truly an all-around athlete adding the Jr. Ski program to her list of accomplishments and biking around the neighborhood as one of her hobbies.
Great Basin Youth Soccer League is proud to announce a partnership with the Burgess family in the creation of a scholarship fund. This scholarship fund will provide registration and equipment for players needing financial assistance. We will be establishing the guidelines for the fund and publishing the criteria. In addition to the scholarhsip funds we are looking at raising money to have a field named for Mackenzie.
