GRR: Charlotte Cardinals
The question popped up Saturday night; a question we hadn't pondered at all until then—were the Charlotte Cardinals the first East Coast team to win the HS Club Championships?
Two of the HS Club National Championship Games on Day 1 were all-time classics.
The other two were excellent example of how to stifle an attack and get through the day. Friday now sees Belmont Shore vs The Woodlands in one semi, and Charlotte Cardinals vs San Diego Mustangs in the other.
Aspetuck defeated the Charlotte Cardinals to win the very competitive girls bracket at this past weekend's Gonzaga Classic.
Aspetuck entered the tournament having rolled through most of their opponents.

Gonzaga vs Charlotte lived up to the billing to cap off the Gonzaga Classic, a tournament that provided some outstanding competition throughout.
Gonzaga made the final with a difficult 14-0 semifinal win over Shawnigan Lake. The BC side had some good scoring chances but couldn't quite finish and Gonzaga did just enough in their semi.
