They also won the Konocti Kup in early October, going 4-0 in the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the team\u2019s 14-man roster, 11 players ended up scoring goals, nine of them on multiple occasions. Angel Jimenez-Ochoa and Christopher Rodriguez scored 16 goals apiece to lead the team. Chandler Johnson was next with 12 goals, Iker Vargas Cruz added 10 and Jayden Lopez had eight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Monkeys used a variety of goalkeepers \u2013 as many as four different players in a single game \u2013 with Johnson and Galdino \u201cJesus\u201d Cruz playing most of the minutes there, and later Lopez although he had never played keeper before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jose Jimenez\u2019s play on defense at center back took a lot of the pressure off the team\u2019s keeper, according to head coach Eric Johnson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe kids all got the opportunity to play every position during the season,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cMost games they played both as a defender and a forward. It was fun to watch the kids learn what position they liked as well as where they performed best at.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite a final record of 11-0-1, the Monkeys trailed in many of their games by multiple goals, according to Johnson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey definitely learned how to persevere and keep playing hard all the way to the end,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cI have been lucky to have coached a handful of these players over the last few years, but it is always great to get to meet and work with new players and develop their game.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Under-12 boys soccer team finishes 11-0-1, wins Konocti Kup Lake County Sports on Facebook LAKE COUNTY &gt;&gt; The Monkeys, a Konocti Youth Soccer League under-12 boys team, recently completed an undefeated and nearly perfect season, going 11-0-1.
