Peach Classic Tournament

The Azzurri Eagles class 3 under 16 boys team, that is ranked 37th in district VI, faced stiff competition in the Peach Classic Tournament. Against their first competitor, ranked 30th, they won 8-0. Against their second competitor, ranked 15th, they won 4-1. Against the team ranked 13th, they tied the first game 2-2 and lost the championship 1-2. Congratulations to the team for the 2nd place finish.

Fort Brag Tournament

11 players travelled to Fort Brag for a class 3 tournament. The team won 2 games 2-0 and 1-0 lost one game 0-1 to the second place team and lost one game to the tournament champion yielding the fewest goals compared with other teams they played and the least goal differential. I can report that the players did a good job and deserved to play in the consolation game which went to a team in a different bracket with fewer points. The boys continue to gain valuable playing experience.
