The Cascade FC  U-16 Boys Soccer Team recently won the championship for their age group at the 2012 Seattle Cup, which was held at the Starfire Complex in Tukwila. The tournament, hosted by Seattle United, one of Washington State’s largest soccer clubs, featured well over 200 highly competitive teams.

In the U-16 championship game, with the temperature approaching the mid to upper 90s on the pitch, Cascade faced off against a very strong Wenatchee Fire team. They played to a 0-0 draw, with the game being decided in a shootout, ultimately won by Cascade FC.
