State Champs

Scott has been working hard for the last few months coaching a high school soccer team in Boise. And they won the Idaho State Championship!  1-0!!!  Way to go Coaches Scott and TJ and Timberline boys!   Also the team won the Academic State Championship with an average GPA of 3.73.  I think that is quite impressive!  Smart group of young men!
We are so glad that in September we made a quick weekend trip to Boise to see the team play.  I still find myself wondering when Scott is going to go in the game!  My eyes are immediately drawn to the tall blond kids!  Years of watching for my own tall blond soccer players is ingrained in my brain!
George and I were particularly pleased to read this in the Idaho Statesman:  

During its three game tournament run, Timberline’s great advantage was ball movement and superior possession in windy conditions.  Its talented and technical midfielders smoothly interconnected with strong, calm defenders and aggressive forwards. Every single player was a difference maker at various points during the tournament.

We like to think that Coach Scott had a hand in training the boys on 'ball movement and superior possession'.  He certainly learned that style of play during his 5 years of playing  in Spain. And he was definitely a talented and technical midfielder himself!!

Just wish we could have been there to celebrate with him!
