yes. especially in a 20 minute championship game. Kinda stinks they don't play each other in pool play.

Also, Steps CA may be the most athletic 7th grade team I have ever seen. Don;'t think they can string 6 wins in a row to win the title, but they can beat anyone on any given day.


Outside of Steps White, M&D, YJA, Im not sure they've played a team inside top-40.

TJA one goal victory is an attention getter for sure.

Will be a good challenge this weekend for them.

I am not talking about talent as a team-- just eye test. I saw them play twice at Lax for The Cure and their team speed is unmatched at this level. They could still go 1-3 in the tourney, but they are the type of team no one will want to play. Unless you are playing a team a couple years older, you just can't simulate this kind of speed in practice.

The reason they beast YJA is because of the speed mismatch. YJA is likely the slowest team of the top 10 national 27 teams and Steps took advantage of it. Most of their goals were off transition for a clear a draw or a turnover.
