AYSO REGION 56

The H.B. Flames of Region 56 overcame an early 1-0 deficit Saturday by

scoring a pair of unanswered goals to knock off the first-place

Metrostars, 2-1, in an AYSO boys’ Under 12 Division playoff match.

Trailing 1-0 with seconds remaining in the first period, Justin De

Marco dribbled around two defenders and blasted a shot into the upper

corner of the net to tie the score. The two teams went into the break

knotted at 1-1, but the Flames’ Josh Sabillion helped break the tie by

drawing a pair of Metrostar defenders toward him before passing off to

Ian Gould, who scored from point-blank range to give the Flames a 2-1

edge.

The Flames’ defensive line of Cameron Dover, Luis Barragan, and Blake

Hihara, and goalie Josh Laurel, shut down the Metrostars for the

remainder of the contest.

Bryn Fedderson, Jimmy Fay, Tu Nguyen, Brian Carson, and Keith

Goldstein also contributed to the win as the Flames continue in the

playoffs this Thanksgiving weekend.
