Last month a local area soccer team, the AFC Lightning ‘01/02G Elite team, won the Presidents Cup state championship tournament.
During the regular season and championship, they went undefeated while scoring 50 goals and allowing only 15.
They will be representing Georgia at the regional tournament June 14-19 in College Station, Tex.
The team that wins the regional tournament has the opportunity to participate in the national President’s Cup and square off against champions from the other three regions in US Youth Soccer.
