Robert started as the Left Wing as he has for the past two games. Tonight the coach moved Mason to forward and Keyon to mid - this proved to be a good move for the team (both Mark and I were excited to see the position change).

Not 10 minutes into the game Kaleb Patterson crossed the ball over to the middle. After a few touches, it came directly to Robert who took one touch and nailed it for the first goal of the game! WAY TO GO ROBERT!!! 1-0 NOHS
Robert played the whole half going back to help on defense and sprinting up to be there on offense. He has really stepped up his attack! He plays aggressive and challenges the ball constantly. He had a foul in the first half.
Around the 20 minute mark Robert had an amazing shot that just missed the goal by an inch or two. It was a perfect shot under pressure from two defenders. GREAT JOB!!!
Ballard scored on a defense mistake, making the score 1-1 at halftime. Robert played the whole first half.
Robert didn't start the second half, but did come in after 15 minutes. Almost immediately after Robert came in, the defense broke down again (Nathan didn't move to protect the goal) and Ballard scored 2-1. UGH!!!
Now there is a lot of pressure to get another goal, but with this young team - that converts to long balls instead of working it up the field. Robert went back to help on defense and then sprinted to mid and forward. He had a great game.
At the end of the game, the coach awarded Robert the "Iron Sharpens Iron" award. This is his second time getting the award.
