Soccer, Soccer and More Soccer!


After 2 years of kids playing on the High School team, and countless County rec. teams when they were younger, (including Logan being on one right now) I can honestly say I STILL DON'T KNOW THE RULES. OK, I do know that the main goal is to get the ball in the net, but I can't ever see the "off sides" that everyone yells countless times during a game. Why some penalty kicks are from mid field and some right in front of the goal, and why a team does a corner kick instead of the goalie kicking it down field. But after the past two High School seasons, I must admit that I'm becoming a soccer fan. It really can be fun to watch even though you know NOTHING about the game. To say that I'm a fan is saying something due to the fact that we have watched many games in the SNOW, COLD, RAIN, and did I mention SNOW!!! Soccer up here is more a Winter sport than Spring….in Kamas Spring is absent, it goes from Winter right into Summer!

Last year our High School soccer team made it to the State Semi Finals. We were up 3-0 with 30 min. left….we could all taste victory and a chance to play in the finals… and we LOST....the other team came back and before we knew it our team had been defeated. This year they want to prove themselves again. On Friday we are going to the State Semi Finals again, but now play the #1 team in the State Rolland Hall, a private school that actually recruits for soccer and won State last year. Just want to send a good luck out the Brayden and the team. They have worked hard all year and we're proud of them. "GO GREEN…GO BRAYDEN…GO WILDCATS"
