This was a one-day tournament that involved more than 14 teams from Pilot Mountain, Mount Airy, Dobson and Elkin. The ages of the kids playing were Under 8 to Under 17 years of age. In the U8 age bracket, the Pilot Allstars won the first county title for PMYSA at this age group. In the tournament, Pilot defeated Mount Airy 2-0 in its first game and were defeated the second game by Dobson 0-2.
However, this 1-1 record qualified Pilot to play in the championship game against Dobson for the county title. In the championship game, Pilot defeated Dobson 3-1 to grab tits first U8 title.
During the championship game, Jefferson Boaz was noted for his oustanding goalie play, while Natalie Zackman, Karlee Easter, Gabriel Presnell and Steven Brantley played great defense to hold Dobson to no goals. Other players like Judd Goldbach, Ethan Casstevens, George Chilton and Levi Haynes offered the offense play to take Pilot to a win. It was a great team effort from everyone on the team.
PMYSA has more than 200 kids that play each spring and fall from the age of 4 to 16 years old. Each kid plays in 10 games and every kids plays at least half the game.
