Two man up plays in the final minutes of the game would seal the deal for Team Bud. The championship game was an exciting one that went up and down during 60 minutes of play with The Road Hawks and Team Bud exchanging goals to tie the game until the final minutes.
Chris Nourse- attending Georgetown in the fall was the MVP – Receiving the “THAT- A -BOY HAND SHAKE”, and applause from both team Bud and his Road Hawk Team Mates. Chris, Long Pole Midfielder, ramped up 5 goals and 2 assists for the tournament weekend.

Nick Zerrillo and Corey both added a goal and a couple of assists each during the Championship game. Three other players added two goals each during the championship game Jack Spallone, Chris Nourse, and Mike Stagnitta.

Select White Rising Seniors go on a 13 game winning steak in back to back tournaments
The same team of Juniors. who won 20 straight games in the first three weekends in November, took the field as Rising Seniors this year, entering the Syracuse Shootout tournament and winning all their games on Friday and Saturday before driving to the Brine Shootout this past Sunday. During the Syracuse tournament the Select White team competed against some strong opponents on their schedule, Nike Rochester and Nike Western NY teams and prevailed as the Victor with Western putting up a great one point battle with tough close defense.
Leaving behind 4 of their early committed teammates, the Select White Rising seniors continued their winning streak at The Brine Shootout at UMBC with few numbers that would eventually catch up to them in the final game leading 5-2. However, they ran out of gas and fell in a one point loss. ending their 6 day winning streak.
