ANNA MARIA – Just past the midway mark in the Island’s adult co-ed soccer fall season, the Moss Builders team is on top and undefeated with a 4-0-0 record. Team Moss Builders in the 8- to 10-year-old league is also undefeated with three weeks of play completed.
With a 2-0-0 record and having completed their bye week, Moss Builders has four teams hot on their heels. Teams sponsored by Adrian Griffin Interiors, La Creperie and Isola Bella Italian Eatery all have one win under their belts. Isola Bella has two ties, while their competitors both have a loss and a tie in the season.
Team Solid Rock Construction had the week off, retaining their 1-1-0 record.
The younger Moss team won by two goals against AMI Coconuts last Tuesday night. Isola Bella Italian Eatery captured their first win against Adrian Griffin Interiors. The Porch team goes into week four looking for their first win after a loss against Le Creperie.
Highlights for the league include the 10 saves by goalie Santiago Cantero for The Porch and a hat trick for Silas Whitehead playing for La Creperie.
Cheesecake Cuties leads the 11- to 13-year-old league by one point over The Gitt Team/KW on the Water with a 1-0-1 record. The Gitt Team has a single win and loss so far in the season.
Solid Rock Construction holds on to third place after a loss to Cheesecake Cuties. HSH Designs continues to work hard on the field despite struggling to get a W.

Winning the first game last Thursday night in the adult league, Ross Built Custom Homes got the win from a Sato Real Estate forfeit, the team’s first loss of the season.
