The Blades U-12 division faced AS Romita in the championship game of the Whittier Soccer League. It was an action packed game with a rollercoaster of emotions for all. The match ended in a penalty shootout, with Blades FC falling behind on penalties. But goalkeeper Seven Jones kept the Blades in the hunt with two amazing stops. Defender Allison Martinez stepped up to the plate and delivered a boot that changed the momentum of the game. Midfielder Abraham Patino and defender Emily Turcios both buried their shots in the back of the net to capture our first ever Champions Cup. Congrats to Coach Gus Martinez and his staff for this amazing accomplishment.

Coach Manny's Farewell Address
F.C Blades,
As I couldn’t speak to all yesterday in my send-off I will at least do it through message. Starting January 3 I will start a new chapter in my life as I pursue a double major in business administration and political science at Pepperdine. I thank the entire Blades family in making what once was a thought, a success. I commend the kids’ desire to be their best and the parents’ sacrifices. You all have tremendous potential and with desire and support, there are no limits. Ladies and gentlemen, it has been a pleasure and an honor, to have served as your coach. We will be having a formal season finale banquet around mid January so please stay tuned. This is not a farewell, it’s merely a hiatus. Remember me by the following words and I love you all, “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind” - Romans 12:2
-Manny Sosa
