Special mention goes to Robert , who played a great game on defense and in goal. Robert really booted the ball well. Angelo played a really solid game at mid field. Brian was on top of his game. Tyler B. played really well on offense. Ameya played another really good game on defense and offense. He broke up many attempted shots on goal by the other team. We also welcomed back Josh, who did a great job dominating the ball and setting up the offensive attack. Tyler S. played a very strong game keeping control of the ball and passing it up field. Nicholas stopped some fast breaks from the red team. Evan did a great job on defense and took a tough shot to his stomach, but was ok. Mark played a great game! He stepped up and really did well stopping the other team. Tony really did well this game. He played a strong defensive game and did great as a goalie. Austin also played a very good game at mid field. He and all the team are improving so much each game. Great game team!
A big thanks goes to Stephanie Socha, who bought yo-yos and an electronic super bouncy balls for the kids! Thank you!
