Season Eleven, Game Eight (Last)

Emi's second game of the day is our last game of the season. Our opponents have not brought a full side, so we play on a smaller field and they ask for and get volunteers from our side to put on yellow pennies and play on their side. Three minutes in, Emilio intercepts a goalkeeper's kick and sneaks one into the corner.


Eight minutes later, he is fouled on a breakaway.
The free kick is good.

19 minutes later we're in the second half when Emi launches a long one that sneaks through the goalkeeper's wicket. That's #3 for Emi.

13 minutes later, Emi scores his fourth.  I barely get it.

Two minutes later, I am ready for #5.

Three minutes after that, Emi bounces #6 off the keeper's hands.

And that's a wrap. In nine U12 games, Emilio scores 21 goals.
If you count Emi's U14 call up, he had 23 goals in ten games this spring.

During his fifth grade year, he scored 54 goals in eighteen games.
During his fourth grade year, (playing up a level), he scored 5 goals in sixteen games.
During his third grade year, he scored 13 (they only played 2 games in the spring).
During his second grade year, he scored 85.
During his first grade year, he scored 44.
During the spring of his kindergarten year, he scored 44.

Total goals in 5.5 seasons:  241.
