We just got back from a soccer weekend in Kansas City where Carson's team was playing in the 2012 KC Border Battle tournament, U-10 division. Whoever thought that an outdoor tournament, in KC, at the beginning of March was a good idea should be evaluated. It was cold and windy for much of the tournament and they played against some really good teams.
Carson's team won their pool and were placed in the final game against the winner of pool B, a team that scored 25 goals in 3 games while only giving up 3 goals. We were told that they were the premier KC U-10 team in the area.
Our boys tied this other team in regulation to force a penalty shoot-out. Our goalie blocked the third attempt by KC Fusion however all other players made their shot. Carson was the last to kick on our team; the only lefty amonsgt 4 other right-footed players. Here is the winning shot:
Carson's team won the game and he was promptly mobbed by his teamates:
After the game, Carson told us that he was nervous going last but knew he had to make it or otherwise, 'I would be dead meat with my team."
