CAPA Crushes Helenites 5–0 in Bethlehem Blowout
Champion Athletic Performance Academy steamrolled past previously dominant Helenites FC with a ruthless 5–0 shutout at Bethlehem Soccer Complex on St. Croix Sunday, July 6.
The tone was set early when Rakeem Joseph picked up a yellow card but quickly redeemed himself by opening the scoring in the 18th minute. Davion Bell and Alexi Bedford joined the attack, each netting a goal to give CAPA a commanding 3–0 lead by halftime.
Helenites — known for their grit — couldn’t recover. Despite three more yellow cards in the second half, their defensive line struggled to contain CAPA’s aggressive front.
In the 79th and 81st minutes, Joseph and Trevon Thorpe sealed the deal with back-to-back goals. With five goals scored and a clean sheet secured by CAPA’s goalkeeper, this was not just a win – it was a statement.

LRVI’s Jean Thierry Baptiste answered just before the halftime whistle, but Massey’s Mahari Cortijo restored their dominant lead in the 54th minute, making it 5–1.
Late in the match, Auston Martinson and Mike Point Du Jour found the back of the net to make it 5–3, but time ran out on the comeback, ending the game in a Massey victory.
