Eastside Football Club’s BU-18 Red team won the 2011 Puma Pacific Coast Challenge Tournament, held Sunday, Aug. 28, in Bellingham.

The boys beat Three Rivers United from the Tri-Cities, 3-1.

The two teams have played many times over the last few years. Last year, in the 2010 PCC tournament, Three Rivers beat Eastside FC’s BU-17 Red in the semi-finals. In last autumn’s league play, EFC beat Three Rivers and tied them in their two league games. The two teams met again in the state tournament championship game at Starfire on February 13, when EFC came back in the second half to take the championship trophy.
