Severna Park Youth Soccer Players Are Annapolis Cup Champs

The 2016 Severna Park boys (U9) soccer team, led by head coach Tony Malcolm and assistant coach Mat Merriman, started their fall campaign in Elite Development Program-Central Maryland Short Sided League (EDP-CMSSL) play with a bang. They battled top teams from the region during the 2024 Annapolis Cup from August 17-18 in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, and emerged as champions.

The action was back and forth, and this group of dynamic boys showed grit and determination, as their wins didn’t come easily. The tournament was a preview of what’s to come for this group, as they will face many of these same opponents during league play in the coming months.

The team included (left to right) assistant coach Mat Merriman, players Christian Ribeiro, Chris Comegys, Brody Bombard, Mitchell Baker, Leo Malcolm, Liam Harvey, Ethan Phippen, Oliver Taddeo, Cal Viera, Grant Locher, Hudson Merriman, Bruno Buras and head coach Tony Malcolm.
