06 Boys ECNL Mid-Atlantic Top Teams and Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2006 boys Pipeline SC (10-0-0 overall) squared off against Beach FC (14-1-1 overall) this past weekend in a clash at the top of the Mid-Atlantic table. With a strong wind blowing goal line to goal line Beach had the advantage in the first half and was playing direct to forward [player_tooltip player_id='30982' first='Ryan' last='Buckon'] but could not capitalize before the break and the score at the half was 0-0. Pipeline had Beach pinned down in their own end the majority of the second half and had numerous chances but could not find the game winner as Beach keeper Sam Braidwood made numerous quality saves. It was an intense and spirited match with a total of eight yellow cards being shown as each team battled until the final whistle. The nil-nil draw felt like a win for Beach FC as they were able to take a point from Pipeline SC who are one of the best ECNL squads in the country.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["11754"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":93587,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003ca href=u0022https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awd_fgTrcwcu0022u003eKobe Keomany 2021 highlights - YouTubeu003c/au003ernrnKobe is a tactically and technically gifted forward as evidenced by his selection as the 2022 Mid-Atlantic Conference Player of the Year. He was also selected for the East team in the 2022 ENCL National Selection game held in South Carolina.  Very strong on the ball and has great 1 v 1 attacking skills. Makes great lateral and diagonal runs off the ball into open space. In the game I watched him play he took the majority or corners and set pieces in the final third and consistently delivered dangerous balls into the box.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["11596"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003ca href=u0022https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLdKX8zm-1Eu0022u003eBlake Lloyd Freshman Soccer Highlights 21-22 - YouTubeu003c/au003ernrnBlake earned First Team honors on the U16 ECNL All Mid-Atlantic team last season for his outstanding play for Pipeline SC.
