On 5/10/2009 The Continental Lads will take on TrinJersey SA in what has been refered to as the "Stokely Carmichael Cup". Morristown has not played well against TrinJersey in the past, but hopefully forging the fixture as a cup game named after a famous Trinidad-born civil rights activist will spark the lads to play at their finest. Stokely Carmichael coined the phrase "Black Power!".When asked about the significance of the Stokely Carmichael Cup, Sweeper Brian Daire said "Stokely Carmichael has nothing to do with Soccer or Mothers day, but I guess he was a cool guy".
But Stokely Carmichael is significant, since Morristown regularly field two players of color (Tyquan Griffin and BooBoo).
Did you know that Stokely Carmichael was once the Honorary Prime Minister of the Black Panthers? Well, it's true. And most of the Continentals are "Stoked" to be playing in his honor. Lets go Continental Army
