Kohl’s American Cup and Classic Cup
The Classic Cup and the Kohl’s American Cup were held November 19-20 with the U15 and U16 classic boys returning December 3rd for their championship match. There were a total of 75 teams, 21 recreation teams and 54 classic teams. The weather was a bit cool in the mornings but the rest of the days was beautiful. All the championship matches were close, with the U18B classic, U16B Classic, and U19G recreation going to two overtimes; and then, still tied, to penalty kicks to determine a winner. Congratulations to all the Champions and good luck to the Classic teams when they will travel to Huntsville, Alabama June 9 thru 11, 2006 to play in the Region III Presidents Cup. >>MORE
