Patriot Boys Win 2005 State Championship Anthem Cup
Capping off a 13-3-3 season the Gray-New Gloucester,
Maine Patriot U-12 Boys Team won the Anthem Cup on
Saturday November 5th.
As they entered the playoffs in late October the Patriots
earned victories over Hampden, Freeport and Fairfield
to qualify for a potential wild card seed in the Anthem
Cup. After a hard fought victory over Noble, the Patriots
tied Saco and earned the wild card seed based on giving
up the least number of goals. In six qualifying round
games, the Patriots earned four shutouts, and gave
up only four goals.
The Patriots entered the semifinals needing to beat
Capital (Augusta) the only team that beat them in
the qualifying rounds to get to the Anthem Cup Championship.
Last Saturday, completing their sixth shutout of the
playoffs, the Patriots captured the Anthem Cup with
a final score of 2-0 against Capital.
