Polson Youth Soccer Association (PYSA) teams just wrapped up their spring soccer season with the Montana State Cup tournament.

The U14 girls Jess Kittle coached squad fared the best, making the championship of the Silver Cup in their age bracket, where they placed second. The U18 girls Heidi Howell coached team qualified for the semi, but were knocked out of further contention by a team they had managed to contain several times earlier this season.

The U15 boys Jaime Whealon coached squad made the consolation championship, where they placed fourth. The U19 boys Mike Moll coached squad were able to hang a goal on their Helena Arsenal opponent, but were denied advancing further into bracket competition.

Girls U19 Polson FC coach Heidi Howell was honored with 2017 Montana Youth Soccer Association (MYSA) Coach of the Year (COY) recognition for her contribution(s) to the program which extend beyond the parameters of spring soccer in multiple manners over several seasons
