On Sunday, April 11th, the MPS 93 Celtic Green faced off against the DCST Spartans in the first game for both teams in the Spring season in NCSL U16 Division 1 play. The Celtic Green took the field following a moment of silence to honor the memory of long-time MYS member and volunteer coach, George Pavlis. George was the founding coach of the first MPS team in this age group, the MPS Olympic. The Olympic team went on to win the Virginia State Cup Championship at the U13 age group in 2007 under coach Trevor Parker. The five remaining members of the Olympic wore their retro-Olympic team warm up shirts for the game. In fitting and poignant fashion, George's son, Nikos, scored on a PK to win the game in the last 30 seconds of the match. Final score MPS 93 Celtic Green 2, DCST Spartans 1.
