U18 Boys - Discoveries 90 Green Discoveries open the final day at Region III by beating Norcross Gold from Georgia 5-1.

However, Ricardo Garbanzo didn't just put CESA ahead with one goal, he gave them some extra breathing room by adding a second.

Region III President's Cup is Overwhelming Success!Last weekend SC Youth Soccer and Carolina Elite Soccer Academy (CESA) hosted the US Youth Soccer Region III President’s Cup at CESA’s MeSA complex and in Greenville and the event was an overwhelming success.
See Video Report: CLICK HERE
Tournament Director, Pearse Tormey and the entire staff of CESA had all 16 fields beautifully prepared and ready to go for the 114 teams representing each State Association in Region III, who were eager to begin the 3 day competition.
The event started with a Parade of States held at the BI-LO center in Greenville, SC and all of the teams making an entrance into the arena for an opportunity to meet new friends and exchange souvenirs with other teams; what a great way to get the tournament started.
The weather couldn’t have been much better for the 3 day event, with only a 30 minute weather delay on Saturday afternoon followed by a brief shower which helped cool everyone off.
This event marked the first time in 14 years that SC Youth Soccer has hosted a Region III event, and CESA made certain the tournament ran smoothly and that everyone enjoyed themselves right up to the final competition and awards ceremony on Sunday afternoon.
FANTASTIC – WONDERFUL - BEAUTIFUL, were just a few of the superlatives being used by parents and player to describe the MeSA complex.
The tournament ran without a hitch and before you knew it everyone was heading back home on Sunday afternoon. It was a great experience to be there and participate in the Region III President’s Cup.
