CSA also want to congratulate the 13U Boys North/Cabarrus Mundial and head coach Boo
Tesh who made it to the championship game in the Singer Cup. They lost narrowly 4-2
in the final but had a great run throughout the tournament.
“This is a fantastic achievement for CSA” said Brad Wylde, Executive Director CSA, “I want
to take this opportunity to congratulate all our coaches and players for advancing to the
final four and to our Singer Cup Finalist. I also want to thank our families for their
commitment to the Club and their teams this season. When you combine the success of
the entire season with tournament and league wins in various divisions, it shows how well
our teams and staff have committed to the game and strived to play to their full potential
throughout the year. To have six teams in this springs state final fours combined with the
success this past fall with State final fours on all older girls age groups and two state
championships, solidifies the foundations we are setting at CSA by ensuring our staff are
developing our players the right way.”
Congrats to all at CSA and good luck this weekend to each team!
