So, Keldon's soccer coach sent out an email kindly reminding us of the CIF rule of "no noisemakers" at the games. Okay, no noisemakers. Instead, I made 35 of these flags for the parents to wave. Well, it worked, because Keldon's team beat the #2 soccer team in the nation, La Costa Canyon, in a nail biter of a game. They entered overtime tied 3-3 (Keldon scored one of those goals!) and when neither team scored in the extra period the game went to a best-of-five penalty kicks. La Costa Canyon grabbed a 2-0 lead and things were not looking good for Westview. But our goalkeeper stopped their next three shots and we made our next three shots and won the game! The victory caused the Westview fans to erupt while a stunned silence overtook the La Costa crowd. This was their first loss all season.
I am still on a high from the game. I am so happy for Keldon and all his teammates. They were incredible! Now they play Torrey Pines in the finals on Saturday. They beat this team a few weeks back 5-0. Hopefully they can repeat that performance.
