1 down and 4 to go!

Wahoo!! Jaycee made her first goal of the season. Jaycee plays year round soccer for a competitive team named the Marauders and we travel all over Washington and into Oregon. She has to tryout for this team and they only select a handful of players. Last season she tried out and made the "B" team and did really well. They called her Jamba Juice because we promised her a juice if she made a goal. She collected about a half dozen Jamba Juices that season. This season she tried out and advanced to the "A" team. She has worked so hard and definitely deserved this. She has had to earn her place with this team. Most of the team is returning players with a returning coach. She has really thrived in this environment and has been challenged and risen to the occasion. She is one who so far has come off the bench and given her team a much needed lift. Today she earned the right to start. Oh, she played incredible. Her New Years resolution is to make five goals this season. She knew this would not be an easy task. The league she is playing in is tough! Her goal was SWEET. She had a powerful kick that went right above the goalie and just inches below the goal post. We were all freaking out, coaches included. It was so exciting Aaron didn't catch a picture of it. It is one though that we won't soon forget. She was thrilled to get her first Jamba of the season. Go Jaycee!
