PRESS RELEASE – Experience comes in handy for youth soccer players in competitive divisions of the Triple J Auto Group Robbie Webber Youth Soccer League.
Playing the sport for just about a decade, 14-year-old Brennan Finona, formerly of Community First Dededo Soccer Club and now part of the ASC Trust Islanders Apaka, has managed to score at least once in each of his team’s matches this season, win or lose, at the Guam Football Association National Training Center.
“Playing all these years in the youth soccer league, I’d say it really helps with player development,” said Finona. “Soccer is a team sport though, so having good communication with your teammates and working hard as a team to score goals and defend is what it takes to win.
“I wouldn’t be able to score any goals if it weren’t for my teammates passing the ball to me,” added the F.B. Leon Guerrero Middle School student.
Finona scored the lone goal in his team’s 1-0 win over the Southern Cobras in the U14 division Saturday.
In other U14 matches, the Tigers defeated Wings Black with goals from Seung Min Kim, Kris Fernandez, James Lee, Yu Chan Lee, and Luke Kim.
The Strykers defeated the Guam Shipyard Wolverines 4-1 with two goals each from Alan Thomas and Joshua Calvo. Brianne Leon Guerrero scored for the Wolverines.
The Islanders Asut and the Sidekick SC battled to a 3-3 draw. Mackey Rasmussen scored twice and Saena San Nicolas once for the Islanders. Shelby Meeks scored twice and Spencer Guzman once for the Sidekick SC.
Wings Red defeated Dededo with goals from Niclas Vavra, Leon Morimoto, Anthony Moon, Kyle Halehale, Kainoa Ferguson, and Matthew Iseke.
The Islanders Betde defeated Tsunami with goals from Javian Cruz, Mia San Nicolas, Donoven Ybanez, Gabriel Tan, Jenna Han, Isabella Bass, Shawn Sablan, and Tiffani Lopez.
In the U17A division, the Strykers defeated Quality Distributors 2-1 with goals from Vince Cruz and Xavier Naputi. Sam Larkin scored for Quality.
Wings Red defeated Islanders Asut 9-2 with four goals from Jordan Jasmin, two from Ricky Katsumata and one each from Inochi Recella, Marlon Evans, and Daniel Kim. Rai Santos scored both goals for Islanders.
Islanders Betde defeated Wings Black 5-0 with a hat trick from Mike Mira and one each from Jeffrey Ho and Jacy Bravo.
In the U12A division, Dededo edged the Strykers 6-5 with four goals from Patrick Haimin and two from Kaden Rivera. Andrew Stenson scored three for the Strykers and Levi Buckwalter and Zion Quitugua each scored once.
The Islanders Betde defeated their Asut counterparts 8-4 with three goals from E.J. Sablan, two each from Daniel Glasscock and Jacob San Agustin, and one from Cristian Cruz. Jadyn Palomares scored twice for Asut and Jason Palomares and Noah Medler each scored one.

Wings Red defeated the Tigers with goals from Justin Joseph, Andrew Cho, Taiyo Kanekatsu, Nainoa Norton, Tayler Bonner, Kai Suzuki, and Derrick Kuo.
