Katie is an Amazing Soccer Player

Katie has been playing soccer for many years with Spokane Rec teams. This was her last game. She has outgrown them! Hopefully she will play in high school. She played the last few years on a boys team. It has been so good for her in so many ways. She has learned to be aggressive and tough and she has learned to get along with boys as teammates. She is really comfortable around them. Oh there is a fair amount of flirting that goes on.... but also trust and hard work. I am so proud of Katie. It is so fun to cheer for her and to hear others cheer her on too. She knows how to score!

Teammate Nick - I got to know him at the chess club we did with Andrew at Liberty Lake Elementary so we've known him a long time. He is great - and very fast.

Jorge - adopted from Argentina? He is an amazing soccer player. Can you run in mid -air? It seems he does. He can kick, score from mid-field. And he is humble about it all. It was fun to watch him play.

The team. Shaun Brown was a great coach. That girl is busy! If she is not coaching, she is playing or changing the math program at CV or starting the Liberty Lake newspaper or doing a church leadership calling. Or taking care of her own 5 kids. I admire her so much. Thanks Shaun for many great years of soccer and friendship!

The brave girls on the team...Stephanie Brown, Gabi and Katie bug!
