The holiday season is still a soccer season, and more than 600 young players came to the AHN Montour Sports Complex from Dec. 26-30 to take part in the annual Riverhounds Holiday Classic.
It was the second time for the event at the new AHN Montour facility, and boys and girls competed in both 3v3 and 7v7 tournaments on teams representing clubs and communities from around Western Pennsylvania.
The Riverhounds are grateful to all the coaches and players who took part getting in the spirit of soccer, and the club also wants to recognize the staff members from the Riverhounds Academy and AHN Montour who made the event possible during the days between Christmas and New Year’s Day. Congratulations goes out to this year’s winning teams, which are listed below with the Golden Boot winners for each division.
