A Marcus JCC youth soccer team made a surprise run to the championship game of a Catholic school league after entering the postseason tournament as the bottom seed.
The under-10 boys team, coached by Rabbi Yaakov Fleshel with Tal Frank as his assistant, had to beat another JCC team just to qualify for the tournament, then upset the top seed in the opening game just days after losing to the same team.
