Inferno and Mojo, two Davis U14 boys soccer teams, battled it out for the third time this season on Sunday, with Inferno coming back to win 3-2.

After Mojo scored first, Otto Nichols evened the score at 1-1 by volleying in the deflection off a shot from William Stukas in the first half.

Inferno’s John Carson jumped on another deflected shot in the second half, delivered this time by Thomas Oide, and again tied the score. Nichols scored the winning shot for Inferno off a Nick Bachand assist.

Jonathon Jones and Murtaza Khan, among others, played well as they helped Inferno maintain ball possession.

Red Crew

The Davis Red Crew, a U15 boys team, completed its State Cup quest and its 2010-11 season with a 3-2 loss to the Placer Blues at Playfields, in a contest decided by a game-ending shootout.

Youcef Rezagui scored both of the Davis goals.

Throughout the season Crew goalies Andres Olmedo and Matthew Linvil along with backs Adam Cunning, Matthew Nemeth, Rami Rashmawi and Shane Pesis led a stubborn defense that stymied opponents. Mid-fielders Ian Soffos, Ken Hashimoto and Isaiah Jimenez, along with wings Alex Raya, Paul Hinton, Antonio Rodriguez and Avery Lascher-Posner, controlled mid-field play and initiated attacks and counterattacks. Forwards Rezagui, Brian Blake and Alex Perez provided much of the firepower for the team.
