In Team play Upper Shore-Rhodes (our guys) won gold medals in Division 1.  We played Montgomery Co. 3 times beating them twice by scores 3-2 and 1-0.  Montgomery Co. beat us in the 2nd game 1-0.  Brenden W. scored all of our goals and played some tremendous games.  Our defense held strong backed by Lance Y., Robert H. and Jeff F. who joined our team this year.  Aaron S. had numerous stops in the goal as a rookie this year to the goal keeper position. 

It was a team effort and our guys never gave up especially in the unfortunate weather we had.  Give the guys some praise if you see them, I am very proud in the way they conducted themselves on the field.
