Ellenton Labor Day Champions
Congratulations to Coach TA and the Raiders Bantam Black Team who won
the A-Division Championship at this year’s Ellenton Labor Day
Tournament. After a strong start, winning Game one 5-3 and Game two 7-0
(shut-out by Alex Miller), the Raiders fell 0-3. Going into Monday
morning’s 8:00 am game, the Raiders needed to win in order to advance to
the Championship game. They did just that winning 5-2 against the
Everblades, behind a solid defensive effort. In the Championship game,
the Raiders faced a tough 4-0 Brandon Bulls who had outscored their
opponents 23-3. Our Raiders soundly defeated the Bulls 3-0 lead by Bobby
O’Keefe with two goals and a solid shutout by Zack Langham. Our guys
showed their pride and appreciation by parading into the South Rink
where Coach Trevor was still managing a tight Midget Championship game.
The pounding on the glass and the applause by the crowd finally got
Coach Trevor’s attention who thrust his fist in victory.
