 Congratulations to the Mercury Black 99 Boys, who won their District Cup - BU12 Bronze Division tournament.

The Quicksilver Green 97 U14 team won their league - CCSL Bay Gold Division. This was also Coach Adam Gill’s last season after 4 years of coaching these girls.  Coach Adam will be sorely missed - though he is leaving the league with both a District Cup win and as League Division Champs. Congratulations Girls, and good luck, Adam.
