JESUIT HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER | 2011

Jesuit vs Lake Highlands | District Game
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

In this video I create a scoring opportunity. This play occurred 20 seconds into the second half when their defender tried to do a one touch pass around me to his outside midfielder. I anticipated the pass and stole the ball. Their defender tried to reclaim the ball, but I muscled him away from the ball. I then cut back towards the inside of the field to avoid the outside fullback. I realized our forward was in a great position to score, but I couldn't do a through ball because the keeper would have been able to get to the ball first. So I did a chip over the heads of the fullbacks. I put a back spin on the ball so it would "settle" right in front of our forward. He was able to beat the keeper to the ball and pop it over the keeper's head for the score.



Jesuit vs Richardson | District Game
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

This was a district game. Coach DeLong moved me to Forward from my normal Attacking Center Midfield position at halftime of the game. In this video it is the first few minutes of the second half when I get loose on one of their defenders to score. Watch for the "Cruyff" move I do to get around the defender and to bend the ball into the net with my left foot. We won the game 2-1.



Jesuit vs Bishop Lynch | Meintser Tournament
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

In this video segment I am playing forward against Bishop Lynch in our opening bracket game in the Meintser Tournament. I caught the keeper coming out to defend the near post so I placed the ball near the far post to complete the scoring opportunity.



Jesuit vs R.L.Turner | PreSeason Game
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

In our preseason scrimmage against R.L. Turner we were behind 1 to 0 when I was fouled driving towards the goal. On the ensuing free kick I placed the ball in the upper 90 on the far post to tie up the game.
