The South Miami United U8 Strikers team faced the St. Phillips Eagles on May 21 to decide who would be the new U8 champions. After falling behind 1-0 in the first half, the Strikers rallied behind Santiago Junco’s two goals and finished with one more goal by Zachary Maurno. The final score of 3- 1 gave the Strikers a 12-0 record for a very successful season under their coach Dr. Tom Maurno. Pictured are (l-r, top row) Coach Maurno, Zachary Maurno, CJ Janette, Matthew Gallagher, Neil Schiff, Jake Wolfe, Jonathan Gleason; (bottom row) Skyler Bryan, Santiago Junco and Andre Vogel.
I saw the championship game and the header goal by the strikers was truly amazing !!!
