FOLLOWUP: Soccer team with 3 local players wins national championship!

From left in the photo are Sam Carballo, Cole Carden, and Thomas Mensing – when they get back home to West Seattle, you can congratulate them on being national champs! They’re part of the <strong>Pacific Northwest Soccer Club‘s ’98 Blue team, which played for the National Youth Soccer Presidents’ Cup U-16 title in Kansas this morning (as previewed here last night), and won a heartstopper, according to Cole’s dad Todd Carden – 2-1 over Virginia, with the winning goal scored in the last seconds of double OT!

    Thanks for this great post and for covering this team’s incredible win. Our soccer club, which has lots of players from West Seattle, is very proud of these young men and their coaches (Sam Laity and Ray Johnson) for their accomplishment.

    Nice job PacNW U-16 boys!! PacNW is a great premier soccer club that is well located for West Seattle families (Starfire). My son plays for the PacNW U13 Maroons and the team just returned yesterday from a successful tournament in Spain (2nd out of 36 international teams). Great club focused on possession soccer and technical skills.

Sorry, comment time is over.
