Congratulations to the A.C. Flora JV boys squad which captured the War Eagle JV Kickoff Classic hosted by Gray Collegiate Academy.
The Final was a "fowl affair", as the Falcons (3-1-0) defeated the host War Eagles (3-1-0), 3-0, to culminate the third annual event - the 2020 session was canceled by the Lexington County Recreation and Aging Commission (LCRAC) due to poor field conditions after some inclement weather prior to the tournament. ACF led 1-0 at halftime and extended the lead to the final margin in the first 15 minutes of the final stanza.
However, a dozen matches were completed this weekend despite terrible weather leading up to the tournament. GCA has hosted this tourney each season since 2018 and this year's field featured eight teams - several with restrictions on how many games could be played in a day, intervals between playing, etc. Thanks Covid-19! But, everyone involved made it possible and the fields held up pretty decent.
Kudos to all of the teams, officials, fans, and trainers for their flexibility and appreciative attitudes of getting these contests played. Good luck in 2021!
We hope to see even more teams in 2022 at the War Eagle JV Kickoff Classic!
