US YOUTH SOCCER REGION III CHAMPIONSHIPS
U-19 Boys FC Florida 96/97 Elite capture crown

GREENVILLE, S.C. � U-19 Boys FC Florida 96/97 Elite have secured a spot in the US Youth Soccer National Championships, by capturing the title at the US Youth Soccer Region III Championships on Wednesday.

The FC Florida side will have a chance to compete in Frisco for the James P. McGuire Cup � the oldest trophy in youth sports. U-19 Girls CESA (SC) also booked a ticket for the finals July 25-31 in Frisco, Texas.

�I�ve won a number of championships, but this would be the biggest one of my coaching career yet,� FC Florida 96/97 head coach Victor J. Sanchez said of a potential McGuire Cup championship. �And for these young men to be able to achieve that and earn such an accolade would be special and something they�d remember for the rest of their lives.�

FC Florida 96/97 Elite (FL) recorded its second 2-0 victory of the week against hometown team CESA 96 Premier (SC) to secure the Under-19 Boys title. As in the first matchup, the teams were very evenly matched and chances popped up at either end of the field. FC Florida grabbed a 12th-minute lead when Bradley Farias found the back of the net. The teams exchanged near-misses just after the hour mark, as CESA twice came close to equalizing the score. The South Carolina side hit a shot just over the bar in the 60th minute, and FC Florida countered with a spectacular bicycle kick attempt that flew just wide of the post. CESA immediately created another opportunity to equalize, but a free kick curled just off the outside of the post. Jacob Montes sealed the 2-0 win for Florida when he gathered a loose ball just outside the 18-yard box and strike a low drive past a diving keeper.

�There are no words to express how happy I am,� Sanchez said. �I�m proud of the boys. It has been about them since day one. This has been for them. I�m absolutely ecstatic about their performance and this win in the final against a very good South Carolina team.�

Good for the boys but you gotta wonder about a club that fell apart publishing self promotion pieces on TS. It's a one team club it looks like until this team grows out of youth soccer. Then who's left?

This team is a part of the FC Florida Prep Academy, not the regular FC Florida. This is the branch that broke off to become its own entity.

Congrats to them, they have really worked hard! Good Work BOYS!

I believe this is also the FC Florida team that did not stop playing once many of the U19 boys from other teams went off to college and/or completely lost interest in reforming. I think there was only 2-3 teams in all of Florida that kept playing (Chivas- Sarasota, Plant City being the other two at U19) Just pointing out that they did not have to "come back together" as they stayed together. They played in some high profile tournaments during the school year, too. Good for them. Well done. They were good and well coached; not surprised they are doing well

Not true. This team is not part of FC Florida Prep which is a college prep program for Kids still in high school. The U19 kids are in a different program. Either way they did great.

The FC Florida Prep teams are also doing well. The 17s and 16s are headed to US Club nationals.
