Wow! What a game. The other team was given a penalty kick just out from our goal because one of our players was off-sides. Just as the other team kicked the penalty kick, Connor charged the ball and took one for the team. He jumped as he charged the ball and it hit him in the side, preventing the other team from scoring. He slowed for a moment, but then he was back in the game full speed!
When Coach David sent out the email recapping the game, Connor was named defensive player of the game! Here are Coach David's words ... "Defensive player of the game this week was Connor. Connor ran and jumped in front of a free kick to save a goal in the first half and didn't flinch. If you look in the dictionary under "no fear" there will be a picture of Connor taking one for the team."
Way to go Connor! We are proud of our little defensive soccer player.
