Best team in the ‘Hood.
That’s where the Washington Rush boys’ select soccer squad and its two CHS sharpshooters, Zane Bundy and Abraham Leyva, finished Sunday.
Winning three out of four games, the Rush captured the Blue Championship Playoffs title in BU17-BU19 Gold action at the Nike Mt. Hood Challenge.
With Leyva scoring twice and Bundy once, the Rush outscored their opponents 7-3 over the three-day tourney.
The Rush opened by blasting the Pacific FC B95 Rangers, then made their only slip-up of the weekend, falling 1-0 to West Linn HS B96.
After that it was nothin’ but a good time, as the Rush roared back to win both of its championship round games.
A 2-1 win over West Deportivo Valencia put them in Sunday’s championship game, and they knocked off an FWFC B97 Blue squad 1-0 to claim the title.
The only thing the Rush missed out on was a rematch with West Linn, which fell in the semifinals.
Leyva and Bundy, who have been traveling and competing with the Rush for most of the summer, will both be juniors at CHS in the fall. They were Coupeville’s top two scorers as sophomores.
