This past weekend, South Valley’s G97 and G98 teams, coached by Jason Carter and assisted by Jeff Darling and Jordon Points, played in the Northern California Showcase in the San Francisco Bay Area. Both teams’ performances were top-notch with the G97s placing second in their flight and with the G98s finishing as champions. In the four matches each team played, they turned in solid defensive efforts, only allowing one goal and two goals, respectively. Some of the teams they defeated teams were Santa Clara Sporting, Jueventus, Real Sacramento, Castro Valley SC, and Boise Nationals. It was a great way to start the spring club season!
