Boys U12 Army Ants concluded their season on the weekend of June 9-10 at
the San Fernando Mission Classic at Balboa Park.
Overall, the boys participated in the five tournaments:
Carpinteria Beach Cup, Moorpark Apricot Jam, Santa Clarita
Showdown, Oxnards Sports Festival, and San Fernando Mission Classic.
They medaled in four of the five tournaments they entered, with
Carpinteria the lone exception. The
Army Ants placed 4th at both the Moorpark Apricot Jam and
Oxnard Sports Festival, 3rd at the San Fernando Mission
Classic, and 2nd at the Santa Clarita Showdown.
The boys really came together as a team and had a good time
competing. The primary
scoring was provided by Juan Ramirez, Curtis Hixon, Josh Reano, and
Kenny Dougherty. Their
opportunities were created by the strong mid-field play of Erik
Cisneros, Adam Sampson, Chris Herrera (who broke his leg in the medal
game of the Oxnard Sports Festival), and Brandon Esswein.
The Army Ants had a strong defense led by Kevin Habroun, Victor
Mondragon, Alan Matthews, and goalkeeper Clint Smith.

weekend for Double Trouble. A
slow start on Saturday morning ended in a 1-1 tie with Malibu Rip Tide.
The heat on Saturday afternoon provided a tough match for the
girls fielding only 9 players. With
no substitutions, the team ran out of fuel and lost to Woodland Hills
Les Filles 4-0. Sunday had
the team in full strength but still couldn’t muster enough team play
and Simi lost to Valencia Woosh 3-0.
The Pasadena Spring Break Tournament on March 31st & April 1st
(playing 11 vs. 11) started to bring out the potential and skills the
girls have. Playing flat in
the 1st half against Granada Hills, Double Trouble still
managed to hold them scoreless at 0-0 for the 1st half.
Granada Hills came back strong in the 2nd half and the
Double Trouble lost 4-0. With
