So Tanner finally had his first win of the season! Whooo hooo! It was actually not with his U13 team but with the older U14 team. They have been asking Tanner to play goalie for them the last 3 weeks. Tanner already plays with boys that are 1 year older than him so playing with boy that are 2 years older makes Tanner a little nervous. 14 and 15 year old boys kicking a soccer ball at you as hard as they can, can be a little scary at times.
But Tanner handled the pressure like a pro and kept the other team scoreless. He had about 7 saves. Three of those saves were amazing. One of the shot he had to jump as high as he could and just got a finger on the ball and popped it up just enough it hit the cross bar and bounced out. Phew!!! If he wouldn't have touched it it would have been a goal for the other team. He was very proud of himself and glad to have a win under his belt this season. :)
