It’s summer, so, of course, there’s action indoors.
Two teams have jumped to the top of the standings after two weeks of action in the youth summer indoor soccer league at the Center of Anna Maria Island.
Solid Rock Construction surged to the top of the U9 division with a 2-0 record, a game ahead of Ugly Grouper and Blalock Walters, both 1-1. Bridgetender Inn is in fourth place and still in search of their first victory.
Progressive Cabinetry is on top of the U13 division with a perfect 2-0 record as Shady Lady and Freckled Fin follow at 1-1. Moss Builders holds down fourth place at 0-2.
Action for the U13s kicked off June 21 with Progressive Cabinetry cruising to a 5-0 victory over
Moss Builders behind three goals from Ethan
Angel and a goal each from Barrett Raina and Alonso Valle.
The second U13 game was a back-and-forth affair that saw Freckled Fin hang on for a 7-5 victory over Shady Lady. Chandler McRae led the way for Freckled Fin with four goals, while David Zupa added a pair of goals. Tucker McRae completed the Freckled Fin scoring with a goal.
Alex Monserrate scored three goals to lead Shady Lady, which also received two goals from Ava Mason and an assist from Jesse Zaccignino in the loss.
Action for the U9s got started with Blalock Walters easing past Bridgetender Inn by a 5-4 score thanks in part to a hat trick from Olivia Wyatt. Gavin Angle added two goals and Evita Moyer finished with an assist in the victory.
Colton Cook scored two goals to lead Bridgetender, while Campbell Collins and Paul ten Haaf each scored goals.
Club news
Golf action at the Key Royale Club got started June 20 with the men’s nine-hole modified-Stableford system match. Art McMillan found himself atop the leaderboard on a score of plus-4. A quartet of golfers finished a point back in second, including Mike Clements, Cliff Lanning, Fred Miller and Dave Richardson.
The women played a nine-hole individual-low-net match June 21 in two flights. Sue Wheeler captured first place in Flight A with a 1-over-par 33 — a two-stroke victory over Helen Pollock, who had a birdie on the second hole to highlight her round.
Terry Westby’s even-par 32 was the low-net round of the day, good for first place in Flight B. Marilyn Niewjk was alone in second place with a 6-over-par 38.
Club members played a shamble June 23 where two scores from the foursome were counted on four holes and one score was counted on five holes. First place went to the team of Art McMillan, Diane Miller, Scott Mitchell and Kent Newbold with a score of 45.
Horseshoe news
The weather was hot on AMI, but so was Tim Sofran at the June 25 games at the Anna Maria City Hall pits. Sofran walked his way to the day’s championship by posting the lone 3-0 record during pool play.
Sofran then teamed up with Steve Doyle for the June 25 games to post the only 3-0 pool-play record, though they did have to work for it. The duo squeaked out a pair of close wins, captured one victory by a 21-20 score and followed up with a 21-19 come-from-behind victory to earn the day’s bragging rights and keep Sofran perfect for the week.
Play gets underway at 9 a.m. Wednesdays and Saturdays at the Anna Maria pits. Warm-ups begin at 8:45 a.m., followed by random team selection.
There is no charge to play and everyone is welcome.
