Kanoa Football Club-1\u2019s Paulynn Joyce and three others are ahead in the Golden Boot race in their respective divisions in the 2017 NMIFA Fall Youth League.<\/p>\n

Joyce, based on the standings Northern Mariana Islands Football Association provided last week, has collected 10 goals in the girls U15 division and is just one goal up against Shirley\u2019s Football Club\u2019s Therize Millare and Southern United FC\u2019s Jerlyn Castillo. Shirley\u2019s\u2019 Katherine Magat, Valeria Myers, and Katrina Costales round up the Top 5 with the former having eight and the last two posting seven each.<\/p>\n

Joining Joyce on top are co-ed 12\u2019s Andrew Chung of MP United, boys U17\u2019s Sunjoon Tenorio, also of MP United, and boys U14\u2019s Lolobeyong Benito of Matansa.<\/p>\n

There is a neck-and-neck battle, too, for the Golden Boot in the boys U14 with Benito\u2019s 10 (as of Oct. 28) and four others lurking behind him. Shirley\u2019s Rommel Mendoza is Benito\u2019s closest pursuer with the former getting nine so far, while MP United\u2019s Richard Steele and Rintaro Miyawaki and Kanoa\u2019s Merrick Toves are not far behind with eight each. TanHoldings\u2019 Taka Borja is also in contention with his seven goals, while Paire\u2019s Jon VIllagomez, MP United\u2019s Rohan Basnet, and TanHoldings\u2019 Oliver Fajardo have five each.<\/p>\n

In the co-ed U12, MP United\u2019s Andrew Chung is the likely winner as he has gained 35 goals with only two games left (including last Saturday\u2019s match). Chung scored in all the first eight games of MP United, posting the most goals (6 each) in their duel against Paire and Kanoa-2 (twice).<\/p>\n

Paire\u2019s Dylan Mister is at second place with his 17 and is followed by TanHoldings\u2019 Anthony Bergancia (13), Matansa\u2019s Jin Wn Xen (13), TanHoldings\u2019 Angelo Pulido (10), Kanoa-1\u2019s Markus Toves (10) and Andrew Sablan (10), MP United\u2019s Richard Castro (10), Garett Weaver (8), and Evan Mendiola (8), and Matansa\u2019s Changyang Woo (8) and Alex Megino (eight).<\/p>\n

In the boys U17 division, another MP United striker is ahead with Tenorio registering 17 going into the squad\u2019s last two matches. Tenorio is upped by five against fellow MP United player Skyler Poon, while Anthony Fruit makes it a 1-2-3 for the club with his seven goals. TanHoldings\u2019 Mark Esalan (6), Matansa\u2019s Louie Calayag (5), National Development Academy\u2019s Hark Joshua Galarion (5), Matansa\u2019s Joshua De Leon (five), and MP United\u2019s Kwang Ko Lim (five) are in the Top 5.<\/p>\n

The final rankings for the Golden Boot race will be known later this month.<\/p>\n
