#1 Baltimore Bays. Became only the fourth team to win two boys titles at the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships in the same year when they won the U-19 and U-15 crowns at the 2009 finals. The U-19s finished their youth run as one of the great teams of all time, winning their national title following championships in 2006 (U.S. Youth Soccer U-16s) and 2008 (U.S. Soccer Development Academy U-17/18 age group). With U-15 standouts Malcolm Harris and Michael Gamble, the younger Bays will get a chance to match the U-19s' success.
