The Shadow Boys U12-U17 teams attending the 2009 Nike Crossfire Challenge in Redmond from July 18-20 enjoyed a successful tournament. All Shadow teams won atleast one game and three Shadow teams reached the semi-finals, with one of them playing in the finals: The Shadow 95 BU14 Navy team played Cosmos for the Gold Division championship; losing 2-1. Semi-final matches were played by Shadow’s 96 BU13 Navy team in the Silver Division and Shadow’s 92 BU17 Navy team in the Gold Division.
Congratulations to our Shadow boys teams for representing Spokane soccer so well in western Washington!
