Young soccer competitors eye playoffs at The Center

ANNA MARIA – With fall youth soccer past mid-season, the coaches and players are looking toward playoffs and strengthening their records going into week 5 action.

LaPensee Plumbing and Island Real Estate are on top of the ranks for the U10 league with nearly identical records, with the win going to LaPensee last Tuesday night.

The 2-1 win against Island Real Estate put LaPensee Plumbing’s record to 3-0-1, while Island Real Estate’s record moved to 3-1-0. In the win, TJ Hagey and Preston LaPensee put the points up for their team.

Island Real Estate’s consistent striker and top scorer of the league, Callin Westfall, scored his team’s only goal, while Vincent Gollamudi continued to impress in goal with two critical saves.

Owen Mahoney worked his magic as the keeper for LaPensee Plumbing with three saves in the game.

In the second U10 game of the night, team Cloud Pest Control searched for their first win of the season, but the hot foot of Brandon Sato proved to be too much for the Cloud defense.

Scoring a hat trick with three goals in the game, Sato was the top scorer of the week. His brother, Dylan Sato, added a goal to the game statistics, giving him seven goals in the season.

Gunnar Maize prevented two Cloud Pest Control points with nice saves in the game to help his team to victory.

In a shutout, Solid Rock Construction won the last U10 game of the night against AMI Coconuts with a score of 2-0. Renan Kesten and Mathew Darak each had a goal for Solid Rock.

Goalkeeper Riley Karecki made four big saves against the Solid Rock Construction offense to help keep the AMI Coconuts squad in the game.

The U14 league is dominated by the undefeated HSH team. Winning against the Mac Parkman squad by two goals gave HSH a 3-0-1 record.

Scoring by Sterling Holiday, Krosby Lamison and Jayden Sparks for HSH and a solo goal by Ryk Kesten closed out the youth soccer action at The Center of Anna Maria Island for the week.

With three regular season games left to play, the title of champion is still up for grabs in the Island’s youth soccer leagues.
