"What is so amazing is that for the last four years or more, my grandson (Zach Pearlstone) never played on a team that won any games. Or if they did, it was maybe one at the most," Palmer wrote in the email.

"He paid his dues and stuck with soccer, and together with a group of young boys and girls they pulled out a masterful season."

The team, led by coach Matt Taylor, won its championship game Sunday at the fields of , Palmer said. The soccer championship win marked an undefeated season for the team.

Julie Bernstein, the 9-and-under and 11-and-under soccer commissioner for the Greater Pikesville Recreation Council said the Hurricanes' performance has been impressive.
