Prep talk: Cleveland wants to challenge ECR, Birmingham for City Section soccer title
"The West Valley League boys' soccer competition has been dominated by El Camino Real and Birmingham. Both schools usually end up competing for a City title. Now Cleveland, under second-year coach Julio Chacon, is trying to disrupt the ECR-Birmingham soccer dynasty. The Cavaliers enter Wednesday's league opener against El Camino Real with an 11-2 record. Anderson Carranza has 10 goals."
"Chacon, a Cleveland graduate, has been trying to get his team to have the confidence to compete against defending City champion El Camino Real and longtime power Birmingham. "I'm trying to build a new culture," he said. This is the first season in years that the City title hunt appears to be wide open. Sylmar owns a win over Birmingham and South East is 14-1-2, including a tie against Birmingham."
