Soccer Game!

I had to break from our usual Rebekah posts to brag a little on our Justin.  He played an absolutely smashing soccer game today, and we are so proud of him!!

Justin started the game in offense, but got switched to goalie just a few minutes into the first quarter when our starting goalie took a kick to the knee and had to sit out for a while.  Justin has been playing goalie since the beginning of the season, but it's not really his favorite position.  Until today.  :) The goalies wear the yellow covers over their jerseys so that they are easily identified.

Justin played goalie for the rest of the first quarter and all of second quarter.  He had at least 8 saves, and the opposing team did not score one goal on him!  We were very excited because we played the top team in our league today!  We talked with Justin and his coach this afternoon, and Justin is probably going to start playing goal more often.  He really gained a lot of confidence today, and he is just plain good at it!  :)

Justin sat out the third quarter (they try to rest each of the players for one quarter) and came back in the fourth quarter playing mid-field.  He also did great in that position!

The video shows Justin making two of his saves today.  Pardon all the screaming and cheering in the background.  We tend to get a little excited!  :)
