ANNA MARIA – As another sports season came to a close at The Center of Anna Maria Island, the adult co-ed soccer champions earned their stripes last Thursday night against the top-ranked Solid Rock Construction team.
After the Moss team ended Pool America’s season in the round one playoff game played last week, the Ross Built Custom Home squad had their way with Moss Builders on the Island pitch.
Team Ross Built worked their way to the top after defeating Moss Builders in penalty kicks after regulation play to end the first semifinal game last Wednesday. Team Bubble Binz fell victim to the offense of the Solid Rock team in the second round two playoff game.
After spending the season on top, the Solid Rock Construction team worked hard with Raul Loera in goal. The Ross Built offense kept Loera busy during the two halves of play in the final game of the season.
Loera recorded 12 saves in the game for Solid Rock.
Teammates Erica Nielsen and team captain Keith Mahoney each put a point on the scoreboard. Mahoney made the assist on Nielsen’s goal.
Ross Built kept the Solid Rock defense busy to help clinch the win. Mack Heitchue and Kevin Roman finished with a goal and assist each, while Zacharieah Anabtawi had a solo goal in the game.
Adult winter sports at The Center starts on Thursday, Jan. 9 with gridiron action and Thursday, Jan. 23 in the gymnasium with indoor soccer.
