BEDFORD UNITED SOCCER
This week five of Bedford United's players represented Bedford Junior High in the annual Liga HEB White vs Green All-star game. The point of the All-Star game is to build camaraderie in the league, and bring kids together through the joy of the Beautiful Game. Each club gets five slots to fill, and coaches select players who are most deserving of the honor based on skill, attitude, leadership, and commitment. Bedford United was represented by Johan Osorio, Angel Guarneros, Terel Kabayi, Efri Lekunga, and Sladen Reams. HEB White scored late in the first half and HEB Green battled back valiantly in the second half, but never notched a tying goal. Final Score: Liga HEB White: 1, Liga HEB Green: 0.
