Backed by the MVP performance of Alexandro Hojrpour, Coquitlam Metro-Ford Millennium knocked off the Surrey-Guildford Selects to take the boys Under-13 championship at his club's 25th annual Labour Day youth soccer tournament last weekend at Town Centre Park and Charles Best field.
Tyler Thomas earned MVP honours for the Selects.
CMF Bayern conquered the Penticton Pinnacles to win the big prize in the boys U-16 division, while the North Coquitlam Gunners tripped CMF Liverpool to earn boys U-18 category bragging rights.
Calgary Southwest United ousted Surrey's Central City Breakers Elite to claim the girls U-14 crown.
The top-drawer tournament featured 72 teams in 13 divisions, along with 125 games on seven different fields. Three CMF teams won their divisions in round-robin play, including the girls U-16 Threat, the boys U-14 Crew and the boys U-16 Barca.
BASSO DAZZLES
Coquitlam's Carlo Basso blasted home a goal in the 15th minute and that stood as the winner as the Simon Fraser Clan blanked the Vancouver Island Mariners 2-0 in a non-conference university men's soccer game last Thursday to open the Clan's season.
A sophomore striker with the Clan, Basso is an Archbishop Carney Regional Secondary School grad. SFU outshot the Mariners by a lopsided 24-7 margin.
