The U16 Grifos are currently undefeated in their PAGS Fall Season. The team recently traveled to Philadelphia where they played an extremely talented first place team, the Anderson Monarchs. During the exciting match the competition on the pitch was fierce, but in the end the Grifos prevailed. The Grifos improved their record to 4-0-1 to remain undefeated so far in league play.

One might think that a team with players representing 11 different high schools would not work together. But this is not the case for these young ladies coached by Hector Uribe. They all work very hard for one common goal, the success of the team. The team has posted two shutouts and has a goal differential of +11.

With four games remaining on their schedule, the Grifos are eager to finish the season with the hopes of remaining undefeated.

Good Luck Grifos!

Victorious and still reveling in the excitement of their first win of the season, the boys egos were quickly deflated by a fresh and talented squad. Despite all their efforts the score reflected a lopsided outcome. This did not deter them from fighting until the very end which speaks
volumes about their character. It was a pleasure to watch Match Fit's level of play and was a good lesson learned about skill, hustle, and teamwork. We as coaches should have had the boys better prepared so we take full responsibility for the defeat. Thanks for working so hard boys and never giving up!

Sunday gave the team a clean slate to work with and a realization that despite a set back on the previous day, there was still an opportunity for a second place finish in the tourney. There was no trouble bringing on their first half enthusiasm that we are so accustomed to seeing. The
second half of the match however, found the boys struggling to regain their first half rhythm, but they kept enough composure to settle into their second victory. It was great to see the teamwork focused on pulling out a victory for a fellow team mate as promised in the team huddle. Happy Birthday Liron!!

Our first match of the day was quite early which gave everyone an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful weather that the weekend had to offer and savor the victory before our late afternoon final match.

The tournament was a great venue for the boys and their families to spend quality time together. It's great seeing a common interest bringing people together and forming lasting friendships.

Thank you Keystone Athletic.

A mid-afternoon match pitted Match Fit against our next opponent Enco 98, which set the stage for our final match of the day. After convincing victories over ourselves and Abington Wolfpack the previous day, it seemed that there was a chink in their armor. Keystone Black played a hard fought match and came away just a little short losing 3-2, and Enco 98 played an excellent match coming away with a 1-1 tie. The intensity with which Enco 98 played against Match Fit had coach Garrett and I determined to have the boys in the right frame of mind for our final match. The boys had some unfinished business after being on the losing end of a late game tally against Enco 98 earlier in the season.

TEAM Keystone Grey did themselves proud by making it clear that they were playing with a mission. Through hard work and individual effort they came together to bring a convincing and a second place finish in the Fall Classic. Liron was able to put some icing on his cake by finding the back of the net in the final match. What a great gift and end to a beautiful weekend.

Coach Garrett and I are very proud of your accomplishment boys!! Thanks Keystone Athletic for giving all of us this opportunity to participate in a program that fosters individual talents in a team environment.

Additionally, on behalf of Keystone Grey, I would like to thank our opponents for supporting our club and your great sportsmanship through out the tournament. Congratulations Match Fit!

Good luck with your seasons!

Our Fall Festival Experience By Lexi Meisse (U13 Girls Player)

This is the fourth year that the U13 Girls Bull’ets participated in the Dale Marsh Fall Festival. It was a lot of fun. We really enjoyed ourselves. Even though we came in 3rd, we had tons of fun. Let me tell you about our weekend. 

On the first day, Saturday, we had our first game at 8:00 am. It was a blow out with our team winning 8-0. After the game, my teammates and celebrated and then went to go see on of the U14 boys teams play at the county field. We hung out there for a while and just chilled after our victory. After that game was over we went over to Burnley to watch some girls that we knew play their game.

 Then it was time for our 2nd game. We played long and hard and won 2-0. That gave us 6 points for the day and 1st place for our bracket. But the day was not over yet. We went to see the U14 boy’s team play again.

 After the boys game it was time for the Raffle. There were many beautifully decorated baskets. My favorites were the Money Tree basket, Sports basket and Movie & Candy basket. Many people that I knew won but I didn’t!! Oh well! maybe next year!

 Next it was time for concession stand duty. It wasn’t very busy, so some of my friends and I watched the U10 girls play by the softball fields. By the time we came back it was time to pack up the stand for the night and go home. So after doing so, we all said our goodbyes.

 The next morning, at 8:00 am, again, we came to the field ready for a hard, aggressive game. We were prepared, or so I thought. Our keeper injured herself the night before and could not play, so I played keeper. At half-time the score was 0-0. The second half a miracle had happened and she was ready to get in the goal. I played forward for the second half. Unfortunately, we had a lot of opportunities but did not score. We lost the game 1-0 in the final minutes of the game. We were done and came in 3rd place for the tournament.

 Our weekend at the festival was full of bruises, competition and soccer fun. I can’t wait until next year.

Soccer was at its finest this past weekend with Keystone Athletics U11 Boys Grey team competing both Saturday and Sunday 

Saturday, Keystone had an incredible first half with Dillon Possinger and Josh Blake rallying together for the drive to score, falling just short on goals. In the first half, at goalie was Antonios Stylianides who had 9 saves and kept the forwards to only 1 goal with the help from defensive backs Pierce O’Dowd and Jeremy Stoner. In the second half of the game, Brendan Zambrano played forward with unbelievable speed and agility while Christian Peeney kept the pressure on defense to help support Ronan Ryan and Nicholas Govus as goalies. 

On Sunday a fantastic fall feeling was in the air on Sunday when the Grey team traveled to Lehigh Valley University fields. The first half of the game Caleb Secor started as goalie for the Grey team with quick reflexes and save after save. At forward for the Grey team was Blake as striker, Possinger midfielder, Ryan left midfielder, and Stylianides right midfielder. Playing defense was O’Dowd, Delibero, and Stoner. Each player played with amazing skill and talent.

We are not sure what coach Shaun Below told his team at half time but the Grey team came out on the field on fire. The second half was dominated by the Grey team with each player continuing to put the pressure on the opposing team..

Kicking a corner kick for the Grey team was Blake who placed the ball in a beautiful position for Leo Goldshmid to score when opposing team showed up from nowhere to stop the shot on goal. Possinger and Blake did not give in and should be commended for their efforts on the field today. With 21 minutes into the game and Stylianides as goalie, the ball was driven into the goalie area where Stylianides charged the offensive to deflect the ball while Delibero covered his position to take the save for the Grey team.

"When John Mazza, President of PMYSA approached me about the idea of a merger, it made sense to me immediately," said Director of Soccer Operations, Mike Composto.  "Having a large number of players and coaches is vital to the development of players beccause it gives them options to play at appropriate levels based on their level of play." Keystone Athletic now has more that 1700 players.  Mazza said " this makes sense for us because players will have the opportunity to progress in this system to higher levels of competition.  Boys and girls have the chance to compete at the regional and national level through the Keystone Athletic Grifo premier and Super Y programs."

While the premier level is important for aspiring players, a vital part of the development structure is the developmental and intramural programs of Keystone Athletic.  These programs will continue to be emphasized and will be called the Keystone Athletic Rising Tide.  The Rising Tide program will maintain a fun and positive environment for players to learn and develop.  We will pool our resourses of coaching talent to develop our Rising Tide into the next generation of soccer stars.
