BOYS SOCCER All kinds of goals at Balconi preseason tourney

Community donates state-of-the-art soccer goals to P-CEP; Catholic Central rolls to title

Tim Smith hometownlife.com

The annual Gary Bal­ coni Soccer Tournament had a fresh look Sat­ urday, specifically spar­ kling new goal cages stationed at each end of the varsity soccer pitch at Plymouth-Canton Edu­ cational Park. Expertly breaking in one of the white metal cages — donated to P- CEP by the Canton Soc­ cer Club and its affiliated Canton Cup Tournament — was Novi Detroit Catholic Central’s David TYirner, who boomed a high, 35-yard shot that surprised the Walled Lake Northern goalie and shook the top left corner of the net late in the first half. That put the Sham­ rocks up 1-0 in the cham­ pionship game against the Knights; CC went on to win 3-0 and earn the Balconi trophy for the second time in three years.
