We're off and running with fall soccer and although we only have one playing this fall instead of three, we're still enjoying every minute of it. We sure miss watching Kaylyn and Lexi play (Lexi is playing intramural soccer at BYU but that's a little far to go for a game :( ) but it's exciting to see McKenna following in their footsteps with Club ball. She tried out for the Elite Soccer Club last spring and was able to move up to this competitive level with the majority of her team and coach. They have done extremely well, considering many times they are playing older teams. Yesterday they were dealt their first loss and it was to the number one team but they led for most of the game and ended up losing by one on a penalty kick. So close!
McKenna always figured she would be just like her older sisters and play defense but has enjoyed moving up to midfield and striker this year. Every once in a while though, her coach has to remind her where she's supposed to be playing because she'll tend to drift back to that defensive mode! I think it's just been ingrained in her brain after watching her sisters for so many years. She definitely knows the game of soccer really well!
