SHE'S A KEEPER
It's playoff time. Our Blaine scream U13 girls made it into the State Tournament, and tongiht was their first game. The result was a disappointment since we left the field with a loss, but we're not out of it yet.
The above shots are of our fantastic Keeper Caylin. I think in the younger years of soccer, the position of goalkeeper is often underrated, but it's by far one of the most important positions on the team. I know from my own point of view, I would not want to be on the receiving end of some ball being kicked directly at me at a high velocity! And to be in constant risk of being stepped on and kicked by cleats of the other players would be enought to make me choose a different position.
But what am I talking about anyway? I've never played ANY position on ANY soccer team except team photographer or soccer mom. Ha! But I did take one for the team tonight when a ball got kicked on our side and it slammed me in the bicep of my right arm! Youch! I tell you, I wouldn't last a minute in this game. I'm lucky so far I haven't taken a ball in the "lens" yet!
Anyway, about Caylin, I think she did the perfect goal kick in this shot, and that's why I featured a series instead of just one shot.
