The Azzurri Eagles finished 4th in the u-16 boys Pumpkin Kick Tournament. While the boys showed improvement particularly in the second half against Real Santa Rosa, the most important benefit of the Tournament was the experience of what did work to control the game as opposed to what did not work.
When the team made a conscious effort to move the ball up with specific passes to specific players and to move up to support the attack, the Eagles looked like they could defeat Real Santa Rosa if they played again, as the Eagles dominated the 2nd half.
While we did not lose to Lincoln, the tie allowed Lincoln to go to the championship and caused the rematch with Real Santa Rosa.
The under 16 will look forward to the u-15 team joining practice as the high school fall season ends.
