And it went to PKs
Breaking News:
The Del Rio League wins 5-4 in penalty kicks in the 2nd Annual Almont League versus Del Rio League boys soccer classic.
The game went into PK's after a 3-3 tie through 90 minutes of regulation (I think the refs forgot this was a high school game).
With the score at 5-4 in pk's, Schurr's Christian Mendoza shot wide right, just over the corner of the net, ending a wild game.
California's Arturo Hernandez put his team up for good in the first of sudden death pk's (both teams tied 4-4 after 5) when he nailed a shot into the upper right corner of the net past Montebello goalie Jorge Sainz. That's when Mendoza went up and just missed a heart-breaking shot.
Del Rio League goals were scored by Santa Fe's Byron Galdamez (Santa Fe's Manuel Rodriguez assist), California's Christian Soto (Santa Fe's Gonzalo Rodriguez assist) and Whittier's Pablo Duarte (Soto assist). La Serna's Tony Aceavado turned into four saves while Santa Fe's Joseph Anguiano registered two additional saves.
For the Almont Leaguers, goals were scored by Schurr's Michael Mendez (unassisted), Mendoza (from Mendez) and Bell Gardens' Gregory Vasquez (Bell Gardens' Damien Franco). Sainz had a game-high 7 saves.
Soto was named the game's Offensive MVP.

i think at this all star game byron "la serotada"galdamez should have receive the mvp award...the kid played a terrific game!!
Whatever happened to the info on the girls game? I cannot believe that in this day and age you would not at least mention the girls game for the Del Rio League. And what about other sports? There has been one mention of boys volleyball and it was of course about La Serna. They are the highest ranked team in the league (as of 3/17/08 they were ranked 8th in CIF but Cal was ranked 10th) They were all in the Kennedy tournament this weekend except for El Rancho and Santa Fe went to the Gold bracket- Cal went to the finals in the silver bracket - La Serna went to the Bronze bracket - and Pioneer and Whittier went to the copper bracket. Shouldn't you be reporting on some of these sports? We would appreciate it.
