    Coming in first place from Lake Oconee were Charlee Clayton in the U10 girls division, Thomas Partee from Lake Oconee in the U12 boys division, and Elliot Mancil from Lake Oconee in the U14 boys division.

    At the State Soccer Shoot held later the same afternoon, Lake Oconee had two 1st place winners. Charlee Clayton won 1st place in the U10 girls division and Thomas Partee won 1st place in the U12 boys division. Elliot Mancil came in 2nd place in the U14 boys division.

    The two first-place winners in the State competition, Charlee Clayton and Thomas Partee, and their families will be going to the Florida Elks Youth Camp in January to compete in the Regional Soccer Shoot between Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, and South Carolina.
