The End of Soccer

What a year.  The girls High School team had a new head coach this year and a whole new style of soccer.  The girls responded well.  They finished #4 in the state.  It was a tough year for Megan.  She has never had to compete for her spot as keeper.  And to make matters worse, she had to compete with her best friend.

A quick note:  these pictures are not mine, thanks for sharing them.  Anthony had just had knee surgery and I couldn't make the game below.



 I can't say enough about both these girls.  They are amazing keepers.  Did you notice that their shirts match their shoes.  This is an older picture, because now their gloves match to.

They both bring very different strengths to the game.  And they are both very supportive of each other.  When Auslin had to defend a shoot out, Megan sat on the side lines praying for her.  When Megan played a rough game, Auslin was the first to hug and congratulate her.




I can't tell you how much fun it is to watch these two girls play.  They finished the season with 69 goals score on the other team and only 11 goals scored on us.  That tells you something about how they play.  They sat on the bench and compared their injury's.  Broken fingers, bruised and batter knees, pulled shoulders and backs and the various cleat prints on their legs.  These two girls are tough.




Since both girls are sophomores, I can't wait to see what the next two years will be like.  Us parents have commented on how tight this soccer team is.  They are all friends and Megan is already missing seeing them every day.
