3. UNDER 14 Fillmore Soccer Academy AYSO Allstars came home with a second place after participating the Ventura-Santa Barbara County soccer championships. The boys outscored the opposition 26-5. They were the only team not to receive any yellow or red cards which means they exhibited great sportsmanship. These boys will be participating in other tournaments this Spring and we wish them luck! Great job guys!
