Our U13 Boys had an awesome showing this weekend in Columbia, SC, going up against some of the best teams in the state—and walking away as Finalists in a tough, competitive tournament! With games back-to-back, the boys were tested both mentally and physically, and they rose to the occasion. They played with heart, showed great teamwork, and gave it everything they had from start to finish. One of the highlights was a thrilling semi-final match where the boys showed just how far they’ve come. Their focus, effort, and smart play helped them earn a big win and a shot at the championship. While the final didn’t go our way, the fight and determination they showed all weekend was something to be proud of. This run is a direct result of the hard work they’ve put in all season. Every practice, every game—it’s all paying off. More than just their performance on the field, we’re proud of the way they carried themselves with sportsmanship, respect, and team spirit. A big thank you to our coaches for their constant guidance and support, and to all the parents and fans who made the trip and cheered them on—you were a huge part of the experience. Way to go, U13 Boys! We’re proud of you, and we’re excited to see what’s next!
