It's the second game of the season and first home game for Emilio and the Ada Energy U-12 team, (which Emilio will be officially old enough to play in next fall). I missed the first game because I was with Honors students in California. Emi starts the game at right forward and doesn't see the ball much early. We later realize that Edmond started the game with too many players on the field. We're playing into the wind and fall behind 1-0. Emi is playing right defensive back when he corrals the ball above.
While Emi takes a breather, Sam nails a free kick. Emi later comes it at left defensive back (above and below).
We go into halftime tied 1-1.
Emi starts the second half as a right defensive back and finds himself matched against Edmond's own Emilio (#10). The photo above and the two below show our Emilio sneaking the ball away from theirs.
Our Emilio doesn't remember getting fisted in the face by their Emilio.
Three goals by Sam--including a second free kick and another score off a sweet feed over the defense by Emilio--put us up 4-1, and Emilio moves back to right forward.
Great weave and shot on goal under control . . . Gol!
Great pass to Angel, who just misses the net.
The official final score in this one: a 4-2 win for the Energy.
