At 8 am, the CASL U14 Boys Premier team fell behind very early in the final game of the round robin. The team from East Ridge in Chattanooga held the 1-0 advantage at the half. Needing a win to guarantee advancement, the CASL team put great pressure on the TN golkeeper but could not capitalize.......til.....Fernando Morales scored off a Harris Wilson assist with 5 minutes remaining in the game to knot the score. Then, Wilson scored the game winner off a rebound of a Trent Nelson free kick two minutes inti stoppage time to earn the win and to win their group. The team will play this afternoon at 3:30 pm CDT in Decatur, AL in the semi-finals.
Harris Wilson, who had a goal and assist in the game, had this to say about coach Bill Hanckel's squad, "our hard work paid off in the end, I'm proud of how our team responded to being down and never gave up!"
The next game with Alix Charles team, U17 Premier, won again this morning wrapping up the group title. They made it through thanks to Daniel Rice's conversion of a PK in the 48th minute, after Tristan Mauer drew a foul. Congrats to them and the U14 team as they compete now in the regional semi-finals @ 3:30pm central time.
