Jacob's Soccer



Last Saturday was the tournament for Jacob's soccer league. Throughout the regular season, his team, Polyplus, went undefeated. The only "blemish" on their record was a tie in the final weak.

The tournament was a round-robin affair, with each game lasting fifteen minutes. The two teams with the best records would then play in the finals. Jacob's team was 2-1-1 going into the last round of the round robin. They won impressively, and then had to play in the final against the team that had defeated them earlier in the day. The finals saw Polyplus dominate, with them attacking ninety percent of the time. I think the other team ended up taking one shot on goal that entire game.

Jacob played goalie for three of the six games, and did a nice job. He was very happy, of course, to have collected another trophy for his efforts. He ended up getting three for soccer this year; one for participating, one for winning the league title, and one for winning the tournament.
