The Jensen Center Youth Soccer season ended for the 6-8 grade teams with a tournament on Sunday, May 19. Taking first place was the Northwind Renewable Energy team (in green shirts) with second place going to the Tomorrow River BP team (in the gray shirts). Third place was awarded to the Roberts Physical Therapy (blue shirts) and fourth place went to the Village of Amherst team (red shirts).
Despite rainy Spring weather delaying the start of the season and, later, causing a few games to be rescheduled, the 2024 Jensen Center Youth Soccer program was one of its most successful to date. More than 300 children from 4K through eighth grade participated, with many coming from surrounding communities to play.
Soccer Coordinator Jason Snyder faced a challenge for the final tournament day for the grades 6-8 teams. Other athletic events on Saturday, May 18, forced the rescheduling of the tournament to Sunday, May 19, on the Falcon Field turf.
After all was said and done, the Northwind Renewable Energy placed first, with the Tomorrow River BP team coming in second. Third and fourth places went to the Roberts Physical Therapy and the Village of Amherst teams, respectively.
Thanks to everyone for a great season!
