Tahoe United adds another title to collection

Staff report

Tahoe United doesn’t go into a club soccer tournament hoping to make the finals; the boys make it happen.

The young group of players has produced 18 top-two tournament results, including 11 first-place performances.



Tahoe United’s roster includes Austin Brooks, Bryce Bronken, Spenser Buchholz, Derek Caro, Tre Charrette, Diego Garcia, Manny Jimenez, Jesus Martinez-Olmas, Axll Maya, Andreas Orozco, David Rodriguez, R.J. Rupp, Mark Waite and Austin Williams.

Tahoe United is coached by Rob and Sonia Rupp and Abel Caro.
