Animal At Play

Spring season soccer games are under way and our little animal has come out to play! Weekend before last Erika and her team-mates took second place in their first tournament of the season. She scored her first goal that was described in the official write-up as an "Erika Blaine thunderbolt!" Well, it did scare the goalie so bad she ducked. The conditions were NASTY, water standing all over the fields, mud slinging with every move, raining and freezin' cold... and the girls still went after it! Watching Erika play is an absolute blast! When she allows herself to let loose there ain't nobody getting in her way. It has been a lot of fun to see the girls develop into a real team, runnin' up to each other to celebrate after they score, watchin' them watch each other's backs, seein' them encourage each other on and off the field. They are an exceptional group of kids and I don't just mean talent, I mean character. I'm so glad she has an opportunity to be a part of Paris Danger.
