The Burners, a local boys’ 10-and-under soccer team, won its sixth consecutive tournament last weekend in Santa Barbara. After trailing 2-0 in the first game, the Burners scored three straight goals to beat Newbury Park’s ‘B’ team. A 5-2 victory over host Santa Barbara followed, then the Burners edged Carpinteria, 1-0, to reach the finals. There, Palisades faced Newbury Park’s ‘A’ team, one of only four teams to beat the Burners this season. Inspired play by Burners Matthew Bailey, Beau Barnett, Dylan Coleman, Joe Dorfman, Eric Dritley, Jordan Fier, Ty Gilhuly, Jared Hanson-Ashkar, Chad Kanoff, Danny Rapaport, Joe Rosenbaum and Kyle Warner led to a convincing 4-2 victory. Since their earlier loss to Newbury Park, the Burners are 26-1 and, with one tournament remaining, have a chance at a 50-win season.
