Currently ranked seventh, team Bubble Binz received a notch in the win column thanks to a forfeit by the Sato Real Estate team.

Winning by two goals in the second game played, Moss Builders defeated team AMI Dolphin Tours. Alex Villanueva scored the solo goal for the AMI Dolphin Tours team.

Also finding his footing on the soccer field as a transition from flag football, Karri Stephens is credited with a goal in the Moss Builders’ win. Teammates Stephen Adair and Greg Moss scored the remaining two points.

The Ross Built Custom Home team beat Gulf Drive Café 2-1. James Noblett and Jake Moss each got a strike past the Gulf Drive goalie.

Tyler Brewer put the single point on the scoreboard for team Gulf Drive Café. The loss drops the team to eighth in the team rankings going into week four play.

Finishing the night in a tie, Hampton Painting and Language Services Associates each scored five points, earning each team a point in the standings.

Alex Quintero had the only hat trick of the week, while teammate Juan Rodriguez scored two goals for the Language Services squad.

Off the hot foot of Gunnar Maize, the Pickles won 3-0. Parker Svoboda assisted one of Maize’s three goals to help the team win.

ANNA MARIA – With the completion of week three of the adult co-ed soccer spring season, team Gulfview Windows & Doors is still in search of their first win. The team fought back on April 13 against Duncan Real Estate with hard-striking goals by Keith Mahoney to tie the ballgame 5-5 in the last minutes of the match-up.

Duncan Real Estate’s team captain, Kevin Roman, started the scoring in the game early in the first half, kicking in his only goal in the game. Despite the single goal, Roman worked the soccer field both on offense and defense, giving his teammates scoring opportunities.

Javier Rivera scored the second goal for Duncan with a shot ricocheting off the left post. The third goal, shot by Nicholas Cavalluzzi, kept the Duncan Real Estate squad in the lead.

Working the field, Mahoney scored a total of four goals in the game for Gulfview Windows & Doors, with a single by Kris Yavalar.

Rounding out the goal-making for Duncan Real Estate, Murat Akay shot the next goal, taking the score to 4-2. Shooting the fifth goal, Akay gave his team a two-point lead, after a Gulfview goal.

Duncan goalie, Charles “Tuna” McCracken, despite his amazing saves, saw his team’s lead diminish as Mahoney scored the tying goal. Finishing the game with 15 saves, McCracken continues to be one of the toughest goalkeepers in the league.

McCracken’s counterpart, Mark Long, made 17 saves in the game, always keeping the Duncan team in the Thursday night battle.

With the tie, team Duncan Real Estate moves into third place along with Sato Real Estate with a 2-1-1 record. The Vintage Beach team tied the Sato squad with four goals each.

Sandbar Seafood & Spirits holds on to the top spot with a win over Pool America by one goal. Solid Rock Construction shares the top spot with the Sandbar team, earning nine points in the season.

Going into the fifth week of play, Moss Builders has a 2-2-0 record after losing to the Solid Rock team.

More than mid-way through the season, the top position is still up for grabs. All eight teams in the league continue to vie for the championship title.

Solid Rock Construction easily defeated AMI Coconuts with the final score of 5-2. Solid Rock went on to play Sato Real Estate to determine which team made it to play in the championship game.

Despite a valiant effort by AMI Coconuts, Solid Rock Construction’s offense was too strong for their opponent.

With two goals, Renan Kesten led the scoring for Solid Rock with two goals. Kesten’s teammates Ruby Kesten, Turner Worth and Matthew Darak each had solo goals in the game.

Isaac Roadman protected his team’s goal in the quarterfinal game, saving two AMI Coconut shots. Roadman’s counterparts Jordan Steele and Sophia Kerr made a total of four saves against the strong Solid Rock offense.

The two AMI Coconut goals were made by Riley Karecki and Aidan Guess. Guess was credited with an assist to Karecki’s goal.

In a close one, LaPensee Plumbing went on to defeat Island Real Estate 2-1 in the second semifinal game on Nov. 8.

LaPensee’s big win comes after Solid Rock Construction’s narrow victory against Sato Real Estate. Taking the game into overtime, Solid Rock’s post-regulation play success gave the team the win, which clinched the first championship game slot for Solid Rock Construction in U10 play.

The U10 championship game was scheduled to take place on Nov. 14. After LaPensee Plumbing and Solid Rock Construction went head-to-head for the championship title, Progressive Cabinetry and HSH faced off for the U14 final win.

ANNA MARIA – The spotlight is on adult co-ed soccer at The Center now that the hardcourt is quiet with the completion of the adult basketball season and the naming of a youth soccer champion for the fall. With two games left in the regular season, the goalie statistics were highlighted in week five adult soccer action.

Going into week six, Slim’s Place’s Tyler Brewer ranks fourth in the league with 22 saves, tied with Ben Sato for Sato Real Estate. Brewer’s ranking comes without stepping foot at the net in game five, with the return of Tuna McCracken in the keeper spot.

McCracken received the all-clear to return to the field after breaking his hand during the last flag football season. Despite the loss to Servis First Bank, McCracken made nine saves against the opponent’s offensive threat.

Offensively for Slim’s Place, Brewer made a beautiful assist to Jessica Williams for the team’s only goal in the game.

Olaf Krause and Osvaldo Cabello split the goalie responsibilities for Servis First with four stops each, helping to win the game for their team along with goals by Ugur Durmaz and Erica Nielsen. Krause and Cabello have 17 and 16 stops in the season, respectively.

Second game action included 11 total saves, split between the Emily Moss Designs’ goalie, Ryan Moss, and Raul Loera and Keith Mahoney for The Gitt Team. Mahoney has 17 stops to his name in the season.

Moss finished with six strong stops in his team’s win, while Loera put two in the books along with a single by Mahoney. As the league leader with 32 saves at the end of the fifth week of play, Moss is followed by Blalock Walters’ Robb Marshall at 27. Marshall did not add any stops last week, but teammate Greg DeMeuse had five in his team’s win over Sandbar.

In a close one, The Gitt Team goalies were not able to stop Connor Haughey and Lindsey Styka, each with a goal, or Kevin Roman. Emily Moss Designs’ Roman had two goals in the team’s second win of the season.

Edd Monzon scored the only points for The Gitt Team, giving the team a 2-3 record.

Still looking for their first win, Sandbar’s Jessica Ruekberg protects the goal with clear experience, stopping eight strikes last Thursday night. Talking to her team, Ruekberg’s cues and coaching just were not enough against the shooting arsenal on the Blalock roster.

With Ruekberg in goal, part-time goalkeeper Steve Oelfke was able to step out onto the field last week, assisting with one of the two team goals. As a goalie, Oelfke ranks third in the league with 23 saves.

The hat trick by Chris Scott and two goals by Matt Staggs was too much for the Sandbar squad to match.

Handily on top of the rankings, the Sato Real Estate team goes into week six undefeated, and thus far unmatched. Beach Bums, with one win, was not able to challenge the opposition, but managed to get two shots past the Sato keeper.

Ben Sato, one of the top-ranked goalies in the league, had three saves in the game, only letting two strikes get by him. The strong Sato Real Estate defense held Beach Bums to single points by Robert Fellowes and Logan Richelieu.

The Beach Bums goalkeeper, Mark Long, who has 18 stops in five weeks, made five nice saves in the game, while allowing Will Kretzmann to score a hat trick of his own. Consistent league goal scorers Greg Ross and Danny Anderson had solo goals to help team Sato capture their fifth win.

This week Sato Real Estate faces a talented but middle of the pack Blalock Walters team, who closed out last week with a 3-1-1 record.
