Holiday play wraps up
The 29th annual Marina Holiday Classic boys’ soccer tournament ended Dec. 30 with Long Beach Cabrillo claiming the tourney title with a 3-0 finals win over Fullerton, and Lakewood won the consolation title with a 1-0 (penalty kicks) win over Magnolia.
Host Marina went 0-2-1 in the three-day event, dropping its final game, 3-1, to Victor Valley in a consolation championship bracket game. The Vikings’ goal came off a free kick by Steven Carrera which bounced off the top bar of the cage and was put back in by Kai Noble.
“With the team fighting through several injuries and players out sick, we struggled to get a win in the tournament,” Marina Coach Gabriel Lucatero said.
In other boys’ soccer action, Huntington Beach played its final nonleague game Monday and the Oilers scored a 4-0 shutout over visiting Westminster.
