	John Burke Under the guidance of John Janasik, John Burke began the TOPSoccer--Waukesha program in 2003, building it from one participant and three volunteers to a program, now in its ninth year, that serves 40 children with a crew of 50 volunteer coaches. In 2007, he received the Wisconsin TOPSoccer Volunteer of the Year Award, an honor that he considers his most treasured. Coach Burke began his coaching career in Wisconsin at the side of Laura Moynihan. When Laura retired from club coaching to take on the program at UW-Milwaukee, she asked John to take over the head coaching position of her Tosa Kicks team. He accepted the position, and guided the team to a state championship. In one of the most memorable and defining moments in Coach Burke's coaching career, Laura asked him to focus his coaching career on helping develop girls into quality soccer players because in her opinion too many male coaches at the time coached girls only until they could find a boys' team to coach. For the last 20 years since Laura's request, Coach Burke has remained committed exclusively to coaching girls' teams in an effort to support Laura's vision of what soccer in our state could be for girls. His teams have won club, WISAA, and WIAA state championships, earned five NSCAA/adidas National Top-Twenty finishes, including finishing #1 in the National Poll in 2000, and received 12 consecutive NSCAA Academic All-American Team Awards. In addition, Coach Burke's teams have won Sportsmanship Awards from the Classic 8 conference, WIAA, and the Palatine Celtic Soccer Club. During his career, he has earned the NSCAA National Coach of the Year Award, many state and regional coach of the year awards, and the National Liberty Mutual Responsible Coach Award. Coach Burke as served as WSCA President and on the WIAA Advisory Committee for Soccer. He also runs the Laura Moynihan Tournament each year to raise funds for the Laura Moynihan Field, which is a lasting tribute to the woman who was the pioneer for opportunities for female soccer players in Wisconsin. John credits his wife, Mary, and his beautiful daughters, Maureen, Margaret, Maria, and Molly, for providing the support that makes it possible for him to serve the special needs community and girls' soccer in our state. Coach Burke feels deep gratitude for the influence that John Janasik and Laura Moynihan have had on his service in the Wisconsin soccer community.
	Randy Davis In the 1980's, Randy Davis was introduced to refereeing by USSF ref Klaus Kroner. He was given a 20 minute crash course before his first game as linesman. After performing well in his first game, he continued to do more games before obtaining his USSF license and his WIAA license. Randy fell in love with soccer and began learning as much as he could from whomever would teach him. He began traveling all over the state doing youth tournaments. He also started doing high school boys and girls games. He began with Junior High and worked his way up the ladder. The USSF helped him tremendously at the high school level. Soon he found himself being asked to be an AR at the State High School tournament. Randy progressed into being a referee at Regional, Sectional and State High School Tournaments. He was to be the last referee for the old WISAA State Tournament, but due to an injury, he had to bow out of that honor. Later, Randy was asked to officiate at the State Cup, and was always invited back after. Randy was also invited to Regionals. He's been to the USSF Regional Tournament six consecutive years, three as a referee and three as an assessor. Unfortunately for health reasons, due to lingering issues from Vietnam, he was no longer able to referee. As a state assessor, Randy set the record for most assessments in a year of over 800, and unsurprisingly received the first State Assessor of the Year Award. The following two years he again led the state in assessments. Randy is proud to say that he had a hand in getting Margaret Domka selected to the F.I.F.A. Panel of Referees. He says this is his biggest and most honorable accomplishment of his soccer career.
