The U16 Magic boys made it to the finals of the Juventas Tournament of Champions Aug. 1-3. They won their first four games and outscored their opponents 13-3 on the way to the finals. They ultimately fell short in a close 2-1 battle against the San Jose Earthquakes. Coach Jasko Begovic has been very pleased with their performance this summer, stating, "This is the second tournament in a row where the boys made it to the finals - in July, the boys were finalists in the Davis Legacy College Showcase - and I expect continued strong results from them in the months ahead. These boys are a very tight team who communicate well together, execute at the highest level of play and, most importantly, have built a culture based on trust and support."
