What is going on at USSF Developmental Academy Regionals? Day 1

This weekend, the two CASL USSF Academy teams, Under 16 and 18 boys, are vying for a spot in the 8 team finals to be played in Milwaukee in July. There are 32 teams in each age bracket that have a chance out of the 80 plus teams that play in the USSF Academy leagues. Each 4 team group will play a round robin format with the winner going to Milwaukee. The groups are seeded by Pods of eight. CASL's Under 18 team due to their great season is in Pod A (top eight teams), in fact they are the overall #1 seed just ahead of the MLS' FC Dallas Under 18 team.
The Under 16 team is in Pod B, the group of the top 9-16 teams.

The Under 18 Schedule begins tonight against Concorde Fire out of Atlanta.
The Under 16 Schedule begins tomorrow against FC Dallas.
Here are the schedules:

Under 18
Friday 7:30 pm CDT v Concorde (GA) Fire FINAL: 2-1
Saturday 6 pm v Colorado Rush
Monday 11 am v Albertson (NY)
1/2 time score: 0-1
Goal Scorers: Mambo Bokar (2nd 1/2) making 1-1; Penalty kick by Cooper Van der Moss Peeler (2nd 1/2) making it 2-1
Goalkeeper: Paul West
After going down 1-0 near the end of the first half, CASL scored a quick second half goal by Mambo Bokar and then late in the 2nd half, Cooper Van der Moss Peeler converted a penalty kick with less than 10 minutes remaining. The 3 points in the first of three round robin games puts CASL in good shape going into tomorrow's second game vs the Colorado Rush who lost to Albertson 2-1 due to a late 2nd half goal. Albertson and CASL are on top of the group with 3 points each.
