Carolina Select Boys 90 Elite 

U-18 ELITE GOES 2-1 AND MISSES THE FINAL BY 1 POINT IN THE U-19 PREMIER DIVISION AT THE SAVANNAH SENIOR COLLEGE CUP

The young men had an excellent weekend that saw every different type of weather possible in 3 games. On Saturday morning Game 1 was warm. Goals from Jeff Antinoro and Gerardo Salazar (2) led to a 3-1 victory over Blount United Starz from Gatlinburg, TN. Game 2 on Saturday afternoon saw a major change in weather. It rained all afternoon and the temperature started to drop. This made for a sloppy field and chilly conditions. We gave up 1 goal in the first 10 minutes and proceeded to dominate play for the rest of the game. This 1-0 loss to the U-19 Rovers, would mark their only loss for the weekend. The boys played hard and dealt well with two injuries and some controversy. Overnight the rain stopped but the temperature continued to drop and Game 3 at 8:00am Sunday morning was cold. A 2-1 victory over the 90 Coast FA Force with goals from Riley Johnston and David Robinson put the boys in position to advance to the final if the U-19 Rovers lost or tied their game later that morning. Unfortunately the Rovers won.

The boys represented our club well and were clearly one of the best teams present at this tournament. Considering this team is made up of players ranging from true U-16's to U-18's and that they played in the U-19 Premier Division it speaks well of their skill and team play.

The team is coach by Khrys Dundr and is preparing for the South Carolina State Cup on December 6th.

The boys opened play with a 3-0 win over Charlotte United Gold and followed that up with a 6-0 victory against an overmatched Richmond Kickers team from Virginia.  In the semi-finals on Sunday the boys defeated CFC from Spartanburg 1-0, with Stephen Nall scoring the game winner and Conor Agnew notching the assist.  In the finals, the boys won a 1-0 battle against CUFC Green with Chris Gorospe getting the tournament winner.  John Watkins assisted on the goal.
