Pats-LA BU10 (2003-04)
After struggling to get into form on the 1st game Saturday against a very scrappy and physical West Coast Elite, Pats went down 0-1 early in the 1st half. The boys found a way to keep digging and fighting back relentlessly, showing their character to keep pushing against all odds and created chances to put us up 2-1. The next 2 games Pats showed their true colors in solid ball possession, attacking play, and lockdown defense. Meeting West Coast Elite again in the Finals gave the boys another chance to put a stamp on their form with a commanding victory of 3-0.
(W) 2-1 vs West Coast Elite

Pats-LA BU8 (2005-06)
Saturday seemed to be a perfect day for Pats-LA BU8, their movements through combination plays, switches of attacks and ball possession worked flawlessly. On Sunday was a test of character as both Eagles and Beach FC had the Pats-LA boys in their cross-hairs for quite sometime. The Semis vs Eagles was the start of a busy day for the boys. Eagles SC came out hungry and Pats-LA got caught a bit by surprise being tied at half 1-1. After some motivation talk at halftime, Pats-LA got back to form with a gritty performance to reach the Finals. Facing Beach FC (Flight 1 team), was another test that took the game into 2OT. Back and forth play between both teams had spectators on edge and intensity on the pitch couldn't be higher. In the dying minutes of the 2nd OT, Pats-LA started an attack out of a broken play and slotted a through pass to "Betito" (#9) who finished one-on-one with the GK, sealing the victory and another championship trophy for the shelf.
(W) 6-1 vs Real SoCal White
(W) 3-0 vs Barcelona California
(W) 3-1 vs Eagles SC - West Valley (SEMI-FINAL)
(W) 3-2 vs Beach FC (FINAL)
