Red Heat Finish Season Hot

The Mineola Red Heat Boys' Under-12 Travel Soccer Team finished the season with an 8-2 record in the Long Island Junior Soccer League and went 12-3 overall.

The Red Heat was led by Peter Marson who had 18 goals, 10 assists, figuring in 28 of the team's 42 goals. Other top contributors to the offense were Chris Olivares (six goals, three assists); Chris Sallie (3-5-8); Jim Francis (4-2-6); Dan Medlock (3-1-4); Matt Shanahan (2-2-4); Vito Errico (1-3-4) and Robert Bridges (1-2-3). Other members of the team who contributed were: Brendan Canavan, Julio Gauto, John Reedy, Peter Smith, Ramon Valente and Chris McNeely.

Repeated rain postponements left the Red Heat not playing any games between Oct. 13 and Nov. 15. Then they finished the season with five games in nine days. They lost 5-0 to West Hempstead and 5-3 to Elmont (losing a 3-1 lead) before winning 3-0 at Hewlett. In the final game, Francis scored into the top-right corner of the net with 10 minutes left in the first half and Marson scored twice in the second half, both on assists from Sallie. Canavan got his fourth shutout.
