McMinnville Girls Help All-In FC Win Tennessee State Cup Championship

Sponsored by McMinnville Moving & Storage

Finley MacDonald, Amelia Partin and LB Guthrie, all members of All-In FC TN 2013G Eclipse, helped their club win the 2026 Tennessee State Cup championship on Saturday, May 23, at Richard Siegel Soccer Complex in Murfreesboro.

With the championship, All-In FC TN 2013G Eclipse advances to the 2026 Mid-Atlantic Presidents Cup, scheduled for June 11-14 in Loudoun County, Virginia. The team will represent Tennessee against other top teams from across the region.

For the Cookeville-based club, the State Cup title is a major accomplishment. For the three McMinnville players, it is also the result of years of commitment.

MacDonald, Partin and Guthrie have been playing with All-In FC since they were 7 years old.

Their club soccer journey did not begin on a girls team. At the time, there was not a girls team available in their age group, so the three started by playing on a 2012 boys team.

That early beginning helped shape the players they would become.

They learned quickly that if they wanted to keep growing in the sport, they would have to compete, adjust and push themselves. Year after year, they stayed committed.

For the McMinnville families involved, that commitment has meant regular drives to Cookeville for practices, training sessions and games. It has meant late evenings after school, weekend tournaments, missed free time and the steady discipline required to compete at a higher level.

Now, that work has turned into a state championship.

All-In FC TN 2013G Eclipse competed through the Tennessee State Soccer Association’s Division 2 pathway. The Tennessee State League is used to qualify and seed teams for State Cup competition, and the PCUP-D2A level gives teams an opportunity to advance into Presidents Cup regional and national competition.

The Spring 2026 State Cup was played over two weekends, May 16-17 and May 23-24, at Richard Siegel Soccer Complex in Murfreesboro. All-In FC TN 2013G Eclipse completed its championship run on Saturday, May 23, earning its spot in the Mid Atlantic Presidents Cup in Virginia.

Under Coach Robyn Maxwell, the 2013G Eclipse team has continued to build momentum. The group has put together a strong recent run, including finalist finishes at the 2025 Fall United Cup of Champions and the 2026 Red Wolves Premier Cup, along with a championship at the 2026 All-In to Win Invitational.

The State Cup championship also brought individual recognition for Warren County. LB Guthrie received All-Tournament honors for her performance, adding another local highlight to the team’s championship weekend.

But the larger story is not only about the final score, the trophy or individual recognition.

It is about three Warren County girls who kept showing up.

MacDonald, Partin and Guthrie are also members of the Warren County Middle School soccer team, where their club experience has helped them continue developing as local players. Through All-In FC, they have faced strong competition, received consistent coaching and learned what it takes to compete against teams from across Tennessee.

All-In FC also has a Warren County connection. The club was brought to Cookeville by Davis Draper, who grew up in McMinnville and helped create a higher-level soccer pathway for players in the Upper Cumberland region.

For MacDonald, Partin and Guthrie, that pathway has required sacrifice.

The work has often happened quietly — though not always quietly in the car — during the rides to Cookeville, on practice fields after long school days and during weekends spent traveling for games. The championship is the visible result, but the foundation was built over years.

Youth sports success is often measured in trophies and titles. But in this case, the Tennessee State Cup championship represents something deeper: consistency, family commitment and the willingness of young players to keep choosing the harder path.

MacDonald, Partin and Guthrie started with All-In FC as 7-year-olds playing on a boys team because there was not yet a girls team for them.

Now, they are Tennessee State Cup champions.

And in June, they will help represent Tennessee in Virginia.
