Our Athletes of the Week are the Castro Valley Soccer Club "Renegades" U14 Girls.

In the first annual NorCal Super Recreational cup tournament, the Renegades defeated the very talented Roseville SC Purple Crush 2-1 to win the first-ever U14 Girls Super Rec Championship. After a hard-fought 0-0 draw against the Purple Crush in the initial tournament game, both teams met again in the championship match.
In an intense and defensive battle where every single Castro Valley player played their heart out, both Renegade goals were scored by Ellie Bennett with the go-ahead goal scoring with six minutes left in the game giving the Renegades the victory.
