The final weeks of the travel soccer season are winding down, and we’ve counted at least three teams in the Local.News area who are leading or have already clinched spring division championships.
The Waynesboro Youth Soccer Association got a monster season from its sixth-grade “Maidens” team in the United Recreational Soccer League. The Maidens, coached by Ryan Wertz, cruised to a record of 7-1 in the 56 White division, outscoring their opponents 28-3 in the process.
Two boys squads from Chambersburg’s Union Soccer Club — the U12 Lightning and U14 Union Knights — are in control of their respective divisions in the Central Pennsylvania Youth Soccer League (CPYSL). The Lightning (6-0-1) outscored their opponents 22-6 en route to a championship in CPYSL Division 4-Red. As for the Union Knights (5-0-1), who are outscoring the competition by a 41-7 margin, lead CPYSL Division 2 with one game left to play.
