One pesky team.
That was all that prevented Wolf soccer stars Zane Bundy and Abraham Leyva from bringing home a select soccer championship this weekend.
Playing with their BU17 Washington Rush squad at the fourth annual Rush Cup at Skagit River Park, the CHS sharpshooters helped their team finish second in the gold division.
The Rush opened with hard-fought ties against Pacific Northwest 98 Maroon (1-1) and Pacific Northwest 97 Blue (2-2) before being upended 4-1 by Washington Premier FC White.
Bundy, Leyva and Co. bounced back for a 1-0 win over Pacific Northwest 97 Maroon in the semifinals to earn a second crack at Washington Premier.
But a miracle comeback wasn’t to be, as the Rush fell 3-0 in the championship game.
Both of the Coupeville stars had strong weekends, with Leyva collecting an assist and Bundy raining down goals.
He scored Saturday on a beautiful shot that left mom Janine gnashing her teeth when she was unable to capture the score on video, then popped the ball into the back of the net during a shootout in another game.
Both booters will be heading into their junior years at CHS in the fall.
