[NATIONAL CHAMPIONS-BOYS] The Kansas City Wizards Juniors moved into Sunday's final of the McGuire Cup with a 3-1 victory over the Colorado Nike Rush, their second win in two days in the U-19 boys group at the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships in North Little Rock, Ark.

The Wizards, who will play Solar in the final, are one of two unbeaten MLS youth teams taking part in the National Championships. The Chicago Fire Juniors beat Solar Red, 1-0, to improve to 1-0-1 in the U-15 boys division.

Other undefeated and untied boys teams are Everest SC (U-17), Triangle United Gold (coached by North Carolina's Elmar Bolowich) and U-16 Dallas Texans Red (both U-16), the defending champion Baltimore Casa Mia Bays (U-15) and Tab Ramos-coached NJSA Gunners (U-14)
