GOOOAAAALLLLLLL!!!!!

Carson had his last soccer game this afternoon. They played about 8 or 10 games this season and the other teams got progressively more talented. So today's game ended up being a good one. Despite the weather being somewhat hot and windy, the boys played hard and ended up with a win. Score: 4 to 3.

Before the game, we talked to Carson and told him that it was his last game. He needed to give it his all and hustle when he's on the field. Carson did his usual 'I know, I know' comment....so we weren't quite sure how much he heard but when the ball was put in play, Carson brought his 'A' game. He played great defense, passed the ball well, hustled back to thwart a few scoring opportunities by the other team, and scored a few goals. 4 goals to be exact....and the last one was the best one of all:

The score was tied 3-3. About 5 minutes left in the game. The intensity began to pick up with both teams trying to break the tie. Carson stole the ball from mid field and dribbled around a few defenders toward the right side.....then hammered a shot from the right edge of the box past the goalie.

Great season Carson! He scored at least 2 goals in every game, played aggressively, is continuing to improve his soccer skills every game, and had lots of fun. I can't wait until fall soccer starts up to see the show.
