The U10 boys get their first win Sunday vs. FC Pocono in the LVYSL league. The U10 boys traveled the long distance to Tannersville, PA to play the U10 FC Pocono squad. The game was very exciting right up until the end. In the first half Alex Creighton scored the first goal of the game. The boys were playing well but unfortunately ended up with a 3 to 1 deficit going into half time. I don’t know what the coaches said at halftime but the boys came out determined to come back in this game. The ball was kept on our side of the field most of the second half and 2 more goals were scored by Mason Brown. The scored was now tied. Great efforts by our defenders in keeping the ball out of our goal. With minutes left in the game Alex was able to put the ball in the net to win the game. Both our goalkeepers Zach Shoemaker and Mason Roth did a great job. What a thrilling game to watch. The boys were extremely excited with their efforts and the coaches and parents were pretty proud of them too. Other team members that must be mentioned include Ashton Foster, Ben Pentecost, Colby Pentecost, Zach Duke, Luke Balliet, Daulton Campbell, Erich Gerstlauer, and Caleb Johnson. Great win boys!! Just shows your hard work and determination not to give up when you’re down pays off.

The team travels to Northwestern next Saturday and Nazareth on Sunday. With all the schedule changes due to the rainouts we have a lot of games to catch up on. Let’s hope for a great weekend of soccer ahead.
