The soccer game today was a tough one. Although the boys were playing tough, we were down 2-0 at the end of the first half. About half way into the second half, we finally scored, but we were still down 2-1. The boys did not give up. They kept fighting for the ball and passing it up to their teammates, and working toward the goal.
With only 4 minutes remaining in the game, we scored - tieing the game at 2-2. The boys continued to push forward, attack the ball, and fight their way to the goal. With only about a minute remaining, the opposing team received a penalty, giving us a free kick. Elgin, the coach's son, took the penalty kick and shot it right past the goalie. But, the referee called it back, saying that he had not blown his whistle. So, Elgin had to kick it again. He made it! In the final seconds of the game, the Tornados pushed past the opposing team to win 3-2! It was an extremely exciting game!
Our Little Man shared defensive player of the game this week with a few of his teammates. Here are Coach David's words, "Defensive Player of the Game - This is a bit more difficult because it was such a team effort. In no particular order all of the following players had key defensive stops that I noticed. Connor, Thomas, Clay, and Alex ... they all share the honors this week."
Our little Tornados are undefeated ... we have one tie on our record ... but we have not lost a game this season! We face our toughest competitor this Saturday. Pray that our boys are up for the challenge and ready to fight for another win!
