State Cup
Beadling led the medal count with 12 teams reaching the championship round; eight teams claimed the top spot. Penns Forest had three top finishers with two Arsenal teams garnering the titles. Moon, Erie Admirals, and Knoch Area each grabbed one championship. The champions will represent PA West Soccer at the Region 1 Championships. This year’s regional tournament is set for June 26-July 1 in Portland, Maine. The regional winners advance to the US Youth Soccer National Championships in Little Rock, Arkansas in late July. The tournament was plagued with weather related scheduling issues. Heavy rain forced the cancellation and rescheduling of the first round, as well as all but a handful of second round games. The rescheduled second round forced a revised semi-final and final schedule as well. While the weather played a significant role in this year’s schedule…some teams didn’t think regulation length games were long enough. Seven finals went to overtime with one being decided by kicks from the mark. The semi-final round also saw it’s share of overtime. Four semi’s went to overtime with two being decided by penalty kicks. The State Cup Committee would like to thank all the teams participating in this year’s tournament for their outstanding efforts on the field and their patience with the many weather related changes. Good luck to our teams moving on to the Region 1 Championships and the second step in the US Youth Soccer National Championship Series. Click Here to view 2008 State Cup Final Four. |
