Thirty-two minutes into the third U16 game of the season, Asher boots a through-ball to Emilio, who takes advantage of the break-away to put the first score on the board.
Three minutes later, Emi gets loose again, and we're up 2-0.
Shortly after Emilio scored this goal, Coach Rhynes took Emilio out.
We went into halftime with a 4-0 lead and finished on top, 5-0, to improve the team's record to 3-0.
A couple of hours later, Emilio and I headed to North Oklahoma City, for a U19 game. Emilio started at forward.
Coming into the game, North OKC is one of only three teams in the league that had not been defeated, with a tie against a Stillwater team that has 4 victories with 31 goals scored against 4 goals allowed.
In the 22nd minute, Phillip scores a header off of a great throw-in by Taylor, and we take a surprising 1-0 lead.
In the 38th minute, with the score now 1-1, Phillip chases a ball into the corner and centers it.
Just as the keeper is about the collect the ball, Emilio crashes in to disrupt the play, and after he puts his toe on the ball a second time, a desperate defender's attempt to clear the ball comes straight to Sam who fires off a clean shot that puts us back on top, 2-1.
Two minutes later (minute 40), Sam heads another throw-in by Taylor and a twisting Emilio almost manages to direct it into the goal before the keeper intercepts it.
One minute after that (minute 41) Emilio, in the midfield, delivers a beautiful through ball to Isaiah.
.
Unfortunately, Isaiah is not able to get off a shot.
A minute later (in minute 41), Sam escapes through traffic and send a neat ball with his dominant left boot to the far corner, and we're up 3-1.
Three minutes after that (in minute 44), Phillip escapes down the left sideline and uses his own dominant left book to put us up by a shocking 4-1 margin at halftime.
In the 75th minute, with the score a tighter 4-2, Taylor executes maneuvers through a pair of defenders and launches a powerful strike from the right side of the goal, to increase our margin back to a more comfortable 5-2.
Six minutes later, in 81st minute, with the score 5-3, Emilio and Jonah execute a fine give-and-go that ends with a volley by Emilio that flies just high of the goal.
Four minutes after that, Phillip gets loose on the left sideline and delivers the final goal that will give us a 6-3 upset victory.
