Congratulations ECFC Jaguars U12G The Jaguars began the 21st Annual Hayward Halloween Tournament with only 10 players (three in various stages of flu recovery), but that in no way dampened the "spirit" of Team Jaguar. Having prepared for battle by donning the appropriate Halloween war paint (a spooktacular event in itself), Team Jaguar was fired up and looking more than a little intimidating. The first match against the Vallejo United Strikers yielded a hard fought 1-0 victory for the Jaguars. Fueled by a lunch arranged by our excellent parent volunteers and with further refinements to their menacing appearance, the team - now thankfully 11 strong - came together for a perfect 3-0 win against the MSC Clippers White in game two. Sunday morning got off to a rough start for the Jaguars with some injuries and a tough team with a full bench of subs. The 0-1 loss in game three to home team Hayward United was a definite shocker. But Team Jaguar, still dominant in points and fury, rallied for the finals, taking on the MSC Clippers Red, another team with a deep bench and an impeccable record, in an incredible final championship game that ended in a 2-2 tie. Two five-minute overtimes -- with the team back down to 10 due to injury -- ended in another tie. The tie was finally settled by a PK shootout and the exhausted but very satisfied Jaguars finished in second place, receiving the Halloween treat of a huge trophy and an excellent team dinner. Despite the clear disadvantage, the Jaguars rose to the challenge, without complaint or relief in the 80 degree heat, and played an unforgettable weekend of soccer in what was unquestionably the most outstanding display of toughness, will and determination I have ever witnessed in youth soccer.

Sunday morning, the Avalanche dominated their game with the Elk Grove Blaze (winning 1-0, but with dozens of shots on goal). The afternoon game was a true battle against Castro Valley United-- Team Avalanche vigorously defended their goal and fought to attack and score, but settled for a draw at 0-0. The Avalanche played very tough, physical and demanding soccer over the weekend-- and were rewarded with a very well-deserved 2nd place finish. GO AVALANCHE!
