There were no major changes in any of the division standings during
the last week of regular-season action for the Anna
Maria Island Community Center Soccer League. ReMax Gulfstream Realty
held onto its slim lead in Division I over LaPensee Plumbing, while the
Sun maintained its lead and an unblemished record in Division II. Autoway
Ford’s bid for
a perfect season in Division III ended with a tie,
but it still holds an insurmountable 10-point lead on second-place Air & Energy.
In
other matters, the Center is hosting a Veterans Day
weekend soccer tournament to close out the season Nov. 11-12. Teams will
be seeded according to how they finished the regular season. In addition,
all-star games will also be played over the weekend, including a 6-7
age group and a 7- year-old all-star game for instructional leaguers.
Look for the complete schedule in next week’s Islander.
