Heritage Ambush Take 1st Place in 2010 Shasta Winter Classic !

What was predicted to be a cold, rainy weekend in Redding turned out to be all blue skies for one Heritage team. Ambush, the U16G team coached by Rafael and Tona Morales, is this year's Shasta Winter Classic tournament champions!  These players showed their skill, determination, and heart on the turf over the weekend of February 20-21st and brought home the first place trophy. 

They went into the tournament with only 11 players, so there were no subs throughout the four games.  During the 3 preliminary matches, the relentless defense allowed only one goal (which came on a PC), while the quick and strategic moves by the offense overwhelmed all opponents.  The Championship game, against the home town favorite, remained 0-0 going into double overtime, and ultimately ended in a nail-biting shoot out. 

It was a grueling weekend for a very tough team; these young ladies dug deep and came up with gold!  Congratulations, Ambush on another first place victory; you truly deserved this one!
