CHYSC  U-17 Intramural League

The U-17 intramural league entered its third week of the season. The league had previously been U-16 but the age limit was increased by one year. As a result the league retained most of its co-ed senior players allowing for even better and skillful soccer then before. Most of these kids have been playing against each other for 6- 8 years bringing about many friendly rivalries for claiming the rights as to which is the best team. The league is co-ed and can at times reflect an amazing display of ball handling, defensive skills, goal tending and shot making. The players are not shy about showing off their talents especially when it is at the expense of a good friend.

In this weeks competition the Burn beat the Fury 3-1 raising their league leading record to 3 - 0. The Fury's goal was scored by newcomer Marcelo Freire, Andres younger and talented brother. Evan O'Toole kept the Fury in the game with many great point blank saves. Kenny Feder was especially strong for the Fury on defense while Levi Napkins, and Sebastian Lundry Thomas provided a lot of offensive spark.  Leah Dean and Stevie Garfinkel both played outstanding games.

The Burn are coached by Patrick Fennimore and led by senior standout Eliot Shorr-Parks. The Burn took a 2-0 lead in the first half as they controlled the action. The Fury tried to come back but the defensive play of Micah Winterstein was equal to his sparkling mismatched socks. Other standouts were Jordan Dipaolo-Brown, Harry and Grace Fennimore, Alex McConaghy, Robert Segal, Todd Bustard and Kim Moak.

In the second game the Wildcats beat the Kicks 3 - 1. The Wildcats are well coached by Vince Hurtubise whose star daughter Bridgett had to sit out because of an injury. But the other stars for the Wildcats included Jonathan Bass, Alon Gur, Zach Porges, Ben Gavin, Ben Babcock, Charles Feely, Sarah Mooar, Jacob Todd and Paul Kutzer.

The Kicks are coached by Dan Childs and Ali Souli. Their daughters Becki Childs and Sarah Souli are long time standouts. In goal they were anchored by a superb goalie in Stuart Case. In the field they have a great player in Jake Kring who scored their goal. Their defensive star was Spencer Domain. Other standouts in the game were  Mia Herring, Dan Johnson, Molly Ashodian, Zina Parrillo and Joseph Bilyk.
