Gooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll !!!!!!!!!



As you all may know D1 has been playing soccer and enjoying it greatly. At first she was a little timid, but has become more and more aggressive as the season has carried on. Welllllll yesterday she finally broke through and scored a goal and narrowly missed scoring two more. The play was a thing of beauty as you will read. She starts off deep in the mighty Blue team's area ( she's on the Blue team), she gets it on the right side of the field and heads up field all alone. Dribbling much like Pele or Henry she "jukes" one defender, blows by another and then heads for the goal. Upon approaching the goal she sets up and gives it a good boot. Bending it like Beckham into the upper left hand corner of the goal just over the finger tips of the diving goalie. Mayhem ensues she runs to midfield and rips off her shirt much like Chastain.

Ok, ok there is no goalie, no juking of defenders or ripping off of shirt, but she did score and I'm very proud of her and she is really enjoying playing. Great job D1!!!!!
