Beckham Dots the I in DC

This what happens when you practice. Upon being challenged by teammate forward Alan Gordon that he could not kick a soccer ball through into a specific window in the press box (the window above the "I" in the "TRAFFIC" sign), Galaxy midfielder David Beckham goes ahead and amazingly hits his spot.

The challenge took place on Friday, Aug. 21, 2009 at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C., at the conclusion of the LA Galaxy's training session.

The video was shot by Galaxy defender Leo Griffin.

Region Play Week 1

As region play commenced last week Bombers continue to play significant roles for their High School teams.

Desert Hills proved to be the most potent team of the week with 3 victories. Brittany has pushed her goal total to 10 and Berkley to 8 with many assists to boost. Additionaly Erica continues too contribute to a solid defense. Having witnessed their offense first hand last week, I can tell you they look poised for a good season.

At Pine View Kali scored what ended up being the game winner at Snow Canyon on Thursday as she continues to be a fixture in region for offense. Additionally Tahlia, Karli and McKenzie are helping to anchor what is turning into a formidible midfield and defense.

Snow Canyon is seeing Tori and Cec play crucial roles for their team. Cec is splitting time between keeper and forward / stopper and provided a crucial assist in their game against Pine View.

Dixie has seen 6 Bombers contribute in their season so far. Madi Jensen scored the game winner agianst Hurricane this week on a beautiful 30 yard shot that hit the upper corner. Nicole continues to lead the team in goals and Kenzie, Kiera and Lauren are making great contributions at forward and midfield. Dharrienne has also earned a solid starting spot on defense and has made great strides in coming back from knee surgery. Emma continues to heal her stress fracture and is hopeful to a return within 2 weeks.

All in all a great start for the Bombers on their high school teams. It is great to see what great players each of these young ladies have become!

High School Season Has Begun!

High School season is under way and Bombers are playing major roles for each of their High School teams. Emma was named a captain at Dixie, but is currently having to sit for the next few weeks due to a stress fracture. Nicole already has 5 goals, Kenzie 2 goals and Lauren 1 goal for Dixie in the pre season and Berkley has 5 goals and Brittany has 6 goals for Desert Hills. I don't have any stats from Snow Canyon or Pine View yet but will update the blog when I do. It's great to see each of the girls contributing and doing the Bombers proud. I would request that if any of you have info (stats, video, pictures, etc.) during the High School season to please share so that I can post it here.
