The Flames and the Terryville Raptors played an excellent game to a 1-1 draw. Even though we tied today, we are not out of it. If we win next week in our make-up game against the West Babylon Blur, we would be in a 3-way tie for first place with Terryville & Hauppauge. So we have our work cut out for us boys. It's all up to us. Who thought BU10 soccer could be so exciting.

SCORING
GOAL: Jonathan

The Flames shut-out the West Babylon Blur 2-0, to clinch a 3-way tie for first place with the Terryville Raptors & Hauppauge United. We all had identical records of 6-1-2, with 20 points in the LIJSL "SS" Division. This fall the Flames had two shutout victories & scored 21 goals, while only giving up 10. Great teamwork boys! We are very proud of each & every one of you!
The Flames really earned their victory today. They totally dominated the game & played excellent defense.
There were a lot of great plays today, like JT's free kick over the wall & into the back of the net; but the best was Matt M's goal saving kick from out of nowhere to save the shutout!

Goals: Justin & JT
Assists: Spencer & Matt L.

*Congratulations Flames on becomming division champs in your first season.

The Flames defeated the Bayport Surf, 2-1 for their second straight win of the fall travel soccer season.
It was a very hard fought, close game.
The Flames once again pretty much dominated play on both offense & defense. We had more scoring chances & out-shot Bayport.
I saw a lot of good passing & strong defense. The Flames are improving as a team with each game we play.
Great job, boys! Keep up the hard work!

The Flames defeated the CHS Renegades 4-2. It should have been 5 but the strange referee mised one! The Flames had more possesion time & out-shot CHS nearly 2 to 1. Good start boys. Overall, we played very well but I see room for imrovement in the passing & positioning area.
More Teamwork & less ME-work!
We are a group of individual players that need to work together as a team.

The Flames came back & tied the Center Moriches Storm 3-3.
It should have been a Flames victory because we definately out-played them.
Their first goal was offsides! But the referee missed it (& many other calls too).
This game brings an end to our (shortened) spring season & the BU-9 interleague team. Our Spring record was a strong 5-2-1 with 2 missed games.
HBC & Commack cancelled, & refused to make up the games.
It's been a pleasure & honor to be your coach. I really enjoyed it. You're a fine group of boys & I wish all of you the best.
I've seen a big improvement in many individuals & the team.
I hope everybody learned something.
Good luck in tryouts boys.

Playing 8v7 & the Flames still win! Due to a coaching error that I just realized at the end of the game when we were shaking hands; I noticed that Northport had only 9 players but one sub! I confirmed this later with the Northport coach that they play 8v8 (like last time) but they didn't tell me!
So the Flames remain undefeated, beating the Northport Ambush 3-2 & keeping their winning streak alive at 4!
It was a wet day, with a very slippery ball & a very soggy field but the Flames hung tough & played well. Good job boys!

GOALS: Justin(2), JT
ASSISTS: Jonathan, Justin & Spencer

The Flames got back on the winning track by defeating the Lake Grove White Heat 5-1. This was the same team that took 2nd place last summer in the East End Tournament. (which we didn't play!)
The Flames looked good & showed a lot of teamwork & hustle.
Good job boys! Keep up the good work.

SCORING:

In a very close game; the Flames edged out the Terryville Raptors 3-2. The Flames were a little rusty, but overall we played pretty good.
We had plenty of scoring chances, but just couldn't finish, by putting the ball in the net. The goaltending & defense played very good. Everyone had their shinning monents.
With a little practice & teamwork, the Flames will "Burn the Competition!"

GOALS: Justin,Kyle & David
ASSISTS: David, Hunter & Kyle

It looks like the Flames season has ended. The Bellport team is having trouble fielding players (same as Smithtown), so they don't want to make up our game.
The Flames ended the Fall interleague season with a record of 6 wins & 1 loss. We scored 28 goals while only giving up 12. Great job boys!
So, with Sachem folding & no one else left to play;
I'd like to invite all the players to Sipp Ave. on Saturday, 11/13 @ 3PM for an intersquad scrimmage . Please try to make it.
Hot dogs, chips & drinks are on Coach Tom!
See You On The Fields!

In a very close game the Flames barely defeated the Northport Ambush 1-0. We traveled a long distance, but it was worth while, as we came away with the victory. Great game boys!
A special THANKS goes out to Spencer's dad, Evan, for stepping up & volunteering to referee the game when Northport couldn't produce a Ref.(or get any of their parents to volunteer)
The Flames Thank You Evan (& I'm sorry you had to put with the loud Northport coach, who needs to learn the rules).

The VOB (Smithtown) team showed up with only 3 players; so technically they had to forfiet. But, the Flames came to play...... so we made the best of it & split up our team to have a scrimmage.
The Flames wound up beating themselves!

In a tight game, the Flames held off the Terryville Raptors, 5-4.
The win extends the Flames Interleague winning streak to 4, remaining undefeated!
Great game boys!
You're all playing very well together & improving with each game. Keep up the good work.
To date the Flames have scored 26 goals while only giving up 10!

The Flames dominated & defeated Middle Country 7-1 to keep thier winning streak alive.
3 in a Row! Great game boys! Good passing & defense.

PLAY OF THE GAME:
Jonathan's diving save to stop a penalty kick!

The Flames defeated Sachem Gold 9 to 4.
We took a 5-0 first half lead & held them off in the second half (4-4) to capture our 2nd straight win of the Fall Interleague season.
There were 8 different goal scorers & 6 players with assists.
Great job boys! A real team effert! We see improvement with every game played.

PLAY OF THE GAME:
Hunter battling 2 players & bringing the ball wide down the right side. Then making a perfect crossing pass to Kyle who was waiting at the center of the goal to put the ball into the back of the net!

The game was postponed due to wind & rain on Saturday, but that didn't hold back the Flames on Sunday. The Flames defeated the Northport Ambush 5-1 for their 1st interleague victory of the season.
Play (together) like this boys & there will be many more!
Great game! A real team effort! Keep up the good work boys!
