GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!

Madissen's first soccer game of the season was today...Game opened with Madissen playing sweeper and getting called for a handball! Yikes. The other team's excellent, strong, and ferocious goalie came out of the box for the penalty kick. Score 1 for the other team. Never did like Mads playing sweeper. Ahhhh then she gets moved to offense! Assist to Madissen, still first half. Eventually, the first half ended tied 2-2. In the beginning of the second half, the other team got the go ahead goal. Ten minutes later, Mads' team ties it off the foot of her teammate Taylor (an excellent ball handler). 5 minutes left in the the second half, Mads handles a corner kick and boots it in sending us up 4-3. A couple of minutes later, she sealed the game with when she handled a deep throw in from the goalie, dribbled a couple times and took the long, high shot. 5-3. She was really excited. I was there. Papaw was there. Her cousin was there. And, her dad was there. Nice showing for her first game back here.
