AMONG THE COUNTRY'S BEST: Two local soccer players are heading to A national tournament. Nico Ferrara (left — from Somerset) and Skylah Dias (right — from Swansea) this past weekend played in a "JV Masters Regional Tournament" that took place at Bryant University. The JV Masters was sponsored by Volkswagen and is an international tournament. The top team from each of the 10 participating regional tournaments will advance to the 2012 Volkswagen Junior Masters National Championship held simultaneously with the MLS AT&T All-Star game in Philadelphia on July 25. Ferrara and Dias were selected from their MPS Premier Club Team, for the MPS's All-Star Team. MPS won all three qualifying games, between Saturday and Sunday preparing them for a final match. They won 12-3 in the finals, beating the U12 New Hampshire state champions. Ferrara walked away with three critical goals for the weekend and played with complete intensity, while Dias was a defensive powerhouse, shutting down the New Hampshire state champion's attackers.
