Alex scores winning goal

This occurred a few weeks ago and I forgot to blog about it...Alex reminded me
"grandpa did u put my goal on the blog?"
"ooooooops!"

here we go
It was a tie score at his Lacrosse inner squad scrimmage and the time had run out.
Lacrosse rules state in the event of a tie the 2 goalies must "face off" at center field and challenge ea other to score. Its get pretty dramatic "BIG DEAL"
Since Alex had been playing goalie he faced off against Justin Holland ( also his Team 4 football team mate and the guy ho initially got Alex involved in Lacrosse)

They meet at center field...Alex is smaller than Justin and less experienced
but Alex is much quicker
He quickly snatches the hockey ball in his net and darts left then right ...Justin swings his stick at Alex but he's much too quick which allows Alex to run past him heading towards to goal once Alex is in front Justin does not stand a chance..all Alex has to do is shoot the ball in the unguarded open net and win the game

He does exactly that....his teammates storm the field and tackle him with praise.

There I told the storyAlex..... sorry no pics.

Oh one more thing
Alex's older 1/2 brother Christopher was there and sheepishly smiled with pride
mainly because on the way to the scrimmage Alex promised Christoper and I that he would score...He did!

I think I'm creating a little athletic monster....and it sure feels good
