“It was good for the girls to play on a big stage,” said their coach, Beto Aguilar. “I think that will further along their soccer development.”
The six girls on the team — Aniyah Graham, Hailey Sammons, Henthorn, Sofia Picozzi, Ivy Chen and Kinsley Hahn — will also play on Inter-United's 2008 girls travel team, Aguilar said. The soccer club is also sponsoring a 2012 (U10) boys travel team.
“It's our first year having travel teams,” Aguilar said of the Inter-United Palm Coast Soccer Club. “We're creating the right culture for them to strive and be successful. They're a good group of girls to work with. They all love playing soccer.”

The Matanzas cross country teams held a run-a-thon Aug. 5-6 on the school track to raise funds for the program. The event was supposed to go 24 hours with a runner on the track at all times, but because of the heat, the Pirates avoided the day and ran through the night from 7 p.m. on Friday to 7 a.m. on Saturday with two runners on the track at all times.
“It was still hot at 1 a.m.,” coach Tim Kane said. “They ran 176 miles. We had tents, food, music. It was a great time.”
