Arsenal working on all cylinders

Ibrahim Khalil came up with five goals to lead a potent Arsenal

attack last weekend as the Region 117 squad routed Region 56, 11-0,

in an AYSO under-14 boys’ match.

Jimmy Moreno and Greg Howland each netted two goals and Val

Bertignoli and Drew Richardson each scored once to complete the

scoring.

Eric Dyson and Kyle Durkee each recorded an assist and John Spirk

and Carlos Puerto controlled the mid-field.

The Arsenal kept Region 56 off the scoreboard due to the defensive

play of Brian Tran, Connor Noyes, James Hensley and Mitchell Weeks in

the backfield.
