Boys Under 12

Newport 1, Tustin 0

The Newport Mavericks completed their parade through the Boys Under 12 Area Q playoffs on Saturday with a championship victory over a solid Tustin team. The area championship, which is the third in the last four seasons for the boys, was sealed with a score from Carson Poivre and shut-out goal tending by Ryan Braun.  Braun, who made several one-on-one saves throughout the match, had plenty of solid defense in front of him led by Caleb O’Neil who had his most solid effort of the season. Alongside O’Neil on the defensive front were Dominik Folkner, Brett Tafoya and Emmanuel Jogwe.

Meanwhile, the attackers applied pressure all game long until Poivre connected in the third frame. Led by strikers Baron Davis and Jehu Jogwe, the Tustin team was on its heels all game long. The mid-field was controlled by the aggressiveness of Kevin Tellez, Riley Gaddis, Byron Gutierrez, Jack Binford, David Schaefer, and Sawyer Farmer. In the end the boys proudly displayed their gold medals and disbursed to prepare to face one another in the upcoming Daily Pilot Cup. The group represents players from Mariners Elementary (Binford, Braun, Davis, Folkner, and Tafoya), Kaiser Elementary (Gutierrez, Poivre, and Tellez), Newport Heights Elementary (Jogwe), Carden Hall (Farmer and Gaddis), and Mariners Christian (Schaefer).
