The CCA Boys Junior High Soccer team, comprised of 5th to 8th grade, recently competed in the St. Peter Tournament at Marshall, MO. In the first game the Patriots took on LaMonte and was able to secure a 2-1 victory with Leo Prus scoring both goals. The back line defense of Tyson King, Easton Dull, and Max Wallhoff supported by keeper Liam Hardin was able to slow down the LaMonte attack.
In its second game the team took on Calvary from Columbia, MO and played to a 1-1 tie. Again Leo Prus scored the goal being set up by Carson Wisniewski, Matthew Wombles and Micah Neal from the midfield and other striker positions. With six teams in the tournament, CCA had to wait to see where it would be seeded in the final game. When Calvary and LaMonte tied, CCA advanced to the Championship game against St. Paul from Concordia, MO.
St. Paul jumped to a 1-0 lead before Leo Prus made a great individual play to tie the score to 1-1 at half. In the second half the talent of St. Paul took over as they secured a 3-1 win. The Patriots saw their overall record fall to 2-3-1 with all three losses to the talented St. Paul team. The team is under the direction of head coach JD Manning who is assisted by Lane Reid and Jeff Adams.
