U12 BOYS EXTRA PROGRAM CHAMPS!

The Peterson Park AYSO Region 183 U12 Boys EXTRA team (the "Rangers") won the 2016-2017 Area 6D EXTRA Program championship, defeating Evanston 2-1 in the final.  The two teams had played to a hard-fought draw just weeks earlier to end the regular season, and the rematch was an exciting match. The game featured skilled play and strong attacks from both sides where a counterattack and controlling the mid-field was critical.  The Rangers struck first late in the first half and maintained the lead through most of the second half, until Evanston scored the equalizer with 3 minutes to play. But with just over a minute left in the match, a Rangers midfielder split the Evanston defense with a well-executed through ball, leaving the Evanston goalkeeper in a 1-on-1 against the Rangers' striker, who buried a shot in the right corner of the net.  The championship capped off a great season for the boys, who earned the top seed in the playoffs with a regular season record of 11 wins, one loss, and one draw (11-1-1) against other elite teams from AYSO regions in northern Chicago and the North Shore suburbs.   

The other Peterson Park Extra teams also had strong seasons. The U10 Boys (the "Blue Narwhals") led the standings for most of the regular season despite having a young roster, finishing with a record of 7-3-4. The U10 Girls (the "Sharks") had some early season challenges but finished strong, winning five of their final seven games to end the regular season with a 7-6-2 record. The U10 Girls also advanced to the second round of the playoffs before falling to Mundelein, who were the eventual second place team in the division championship. Congratulations to the Peterson Park Extra players and coaches for a great season! Tryouts for next season's Extra teams will take place on June 10 and June 13.
