Championship Summer

Richie's soccer team played in two tournaments this summer. The first was up at beautiful Park City. The facilities were really nice and we took advantage of the outlets as well. We could not stay in the city so we just drove back and forth between Lindon.
Richie heads a ball to his teammate Bessor. He can put a good touch on the ball with his noggin.
A burst of speed and Richie blew by his opponent.
Richie almost scored on this corner kick. It was just to the outside of the bar. Good idea Rich
Richie and team pose for the camera. It was very difficult to get a shot with everyone's eyes open. I think this is the best club team Richie has played on.
A close up of the back row show some excellent soccer players. Bessor, to the left of Richie, is one of his best friends. They went to Lakeridge Junior High together. They took 1st place in the Park City Tournament!
Here they are playing in the Sparta Cup. Richie puts his head on the ball and volleys it to himself on the run.... great stuff.
Richie plays in the center midfield and enjoys being one of the quarterbacks of the team.
The Sparta Cup trophy is proudly displayed as the boys where their medals.
