Coach Javier Frausto said “The State 48 FC 2011 Boys Black (Avondale) team ended the league season with a match to decide 1st place in our division. After being down at the half, we adjusted and roared back to win 2-1 to put a ribbon on an amazing season. Goals were scored by Gabriel Salazar and Meziah Arrellano, with assists by Scott Nguyen and Jayden Rosales. Our strong defense held it down as usual, led by Jacen Roman, Acxel Romero, Parker Consalvo, Benji Myrhe and Meziah Arrellano. This tremendous collective effort resulted in an impressive 1st Place Championship finish in our division – an undefeated campaign, recording the most goals scored, the least goals allowed and the best goal differential. I am very proud of this outstanding group!”
