Soccer teams win titles

The All-Stars, an Under-10 division boys’ soccer team out of AYSO Region 56, won four games handily last weekend to capture the Area 11K tournament.

The All-Stars cruised to easy wins (8-0, 9-2, 2-1) in their first three games, then capped their dominant run by blanking the Blue Destroyers, 7-0, in the final.

Devin Lahtinen, Daniel Schulze, Connor Gordon and Garrett Mullins led an aggressive offense for the All-Stars.

Schulze scored in the opening minutes of the match to give the All-Stars a 1-0 lead, and Lahtinen and Justin Geer combined for the team’s second goal.

The goaltending of Greer, Dallas Syfert and CJ Stovall held the Destroyers — representing Region 117 — scoreless. Geer rejected a penalty kick in the second half to preserve the shutout.

Ryan Shiner led the All-Stars’ charge at midfield, and the defensive was led by Stovall, Greer, Griffin Clement and Alex Hicks.

The All-Stars, now 16-0-1 overall, will represent Region 56 in the Section championships, being held Feb. 17-18, 2007 in San Marcos.
