Boys Soccer vs. Chenawanda
The 4th grade boys were on the road for their championship final game against Chen-A-Wanda, a team they beat 3-0 in 2013. A great start saw Starlight take the lead within five minutes, a lead they increased steadily throughout the game. Some good individual performances, but more importantly, a great team performance saw Starlight end up convincing winners 5-0. Jackson F. in goal was almost a spectator as Starlight put on a master class for their opposition. Charlie G. at the back was a rock dominating the Chen-A-Wanda forward line, while in the middle of the park Adam B. and Sawyer W. continually made some fine forward runs towards and into the opposition’s 18-yard area. The 4th graders had a great summer season finishing as champions without conceding a single goal while scoring 17. A very exciting team to watch, hopefully this is the first of many championships to come in future summers.
