The final match was tense. Our defending champions, the soccer team of the Armenian Evangelical P. & E. Torosian School faced a tough opponent - the Djemarantsiner, at the finals of the LEVAM tournament. The LEVAM tournament being an inter-Armenian schools' sports competition, is held every year.
Having an easy lead in the first half of the game, the Djemarantsiner were able to make a striking come back that shocked us all. Our key players were heavily exhausted and were barely able to stop the opponents in the second half. We all thought that we would lose the championship, however, coach Mike Hagopian's persistent efforts came to fruition, when were able to score two important goals and win the championship for the second year in a row.
