“We were triumphant in our victories while still proud in our losses. Blackhawks was quite a tournament,” U12 Head Coach Reuben Philo said. “We played four games with three wins and one tie during regulation play. In the championship game we went on to penalty kicks and lost while still bringing home second place.

“I am so proud of our boys. For a small town, we played with a lot of heart and a lot of class while going up against some big clubs with size and numbers stacked against us. Three wins, one loss, only two goals against us, we came to play and made a great show of it. We have a very special group of boys and families, and I am proud to be their coach.”
