Local Athlete Honored

As you will see from this article in the Glendale News Press, Kelly has been chosen to receive her soccer team's Sportsmanship Award for the season. As the youngest player on the team, she has had to learn how to compete against much bigger, more experienced girls, but she is doing very well and enjoying herself. Her Mighty Tigers (she picked the name, by the way) have had a pretty good season, with a couple of very flat losses and a lot of blowout wins. Kelly has been the good soldier and spent a lot of time at goalie this year. The best thing is that she is having fun, getting a ton of exercise, looks forward to soccer camps, and views herself as an athlete. It's a lot of work for us to get her to practices and games, but every minute is worth it.

Here are a couple of shots from the award ceremony:





Here she is in action warming up before the game this weekend:
