When you play select soccer, you work all year for one goal in mind. That being the State Cup. Brice has trained all year, practiced twice and three times a week. Gone to tournaments to improve the game, etc. Well, last week we had a practice game with a local rec team. Brice had played the entire game and scored two goals. During the second half he was on his way for a third goal when the goalie came out and took him out from the ground and a defender came at him from behind and took him out from above his knee. During that collision, Brice injured his knee. We took him to the doctor and he said there was no tear and nothing broken but we would have to wait and see about playing soccer on the weekend. We went to physical therapy twice but he still couldn't run on it Friday. We were very disappointed to say the least. Our team didn't fare too well in the tournament either. Brice said it was very hard to sit and watch from sidelines. He is doing much better now. Walking with little pain and is wearing a brace off and on. I just wish he had done this two weeks before and he would have had time to heal. Oh well......
Notice Brice on the left. His coach still allowed him to be captain which I thought was nice.
