Gem State Soccer Tournament

Carson and his last soccer tournament for the spring season. Gem State Tournament. This was by far a fun year filled with injury and fun! We went to many tournaments and played some very skilled teams. The team is getting better and better every season.
 
Filing out for the start of a game.
The line up and thanking those who came to support PVSC U-15 team in Boise, Idaho.
The prayer before a game to protect and play well. Sam Francisco offers the prayer, "Saint Francis".
Carson working hard and then.......
Carson was injured pretty bad at his third game. The doctor held his neck for about 30-45 minutes until the ambulance arrived to take him to the hospital. They would not let us take him afraid he could become paralyzed.
On the stretcher and in pain.
In pain and not moving an inch in fear he could become paralyzed.
The ambulance which I road in with Carson to the hospital. The CAT scan came back okay and the doctor released Carson that night to play in the morning. It was so scary and the most expensive soccer tournament ever.
Here Carson with his medical bracelet on just in case.
A longer prayer to thank and protect each player.
He is moving great but extremely sore.
Here Carson is with a slide tackle. This year Carson learned to play many new positions and grew leaps and bounds this year with a new coach and a stronger muscular body. We did not earn a birth in regionals but they sure played well.
