A dream comes true for charity
The Futbol Dream Team squared off against the Baton Rouge Capitals July 21 at Olympia Stadium in a rousing fund-raising charity soccer match to help the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Capitals Owner James Vilas led a squad of coaches, players and former players in a full match that ended with the Capitals winning 7-5. Dream Team forward Brandon Smith scored three goals, while Southern women's soccer assistant coach Greg Corbett and Capitals head coach Bo Cassidy each scored a goal. The event raised well over $6,000 for the CF Foundation, including player sponsorships and donations at the gate.
