Soccer's in full swing at South Adams. Adam is a senior and was elected by his team members to be one of the two captains. So far, the team is 2-2-2 (wins-losses-ties). This past week Adam scored six goals and had two assists. Thursday's game was against Leo High School. They won 2-1, the first time in the history of South Adams Boys Soccer that they defeated Leo. Adam's freshman year, Adam left the Leo field in an ambulance after taking a cheap shot from one of Leo's players. Thursday was a sweet victory indeed. Adam scored the two goals on penalty shots after being fouled both times on the way to the goal. By the way, it was also Adam's 18th birthday - nice birthday present!
Watching Adam play soccer is much like watching a car race. Sit down and hold on because it's going to be good. When Adam leaves the field at the end of the game, he has nothing left to give - he leaves it all on the field.
We're so proud of Adam. He is a wonderful athlete, but more importantly, he is a young man with such a deep love for his Heavenly Father which translates into love for those around him. He teaches us much about walking in faith and standing strong in a world full of compromise.
