I would like to say thanks to everyone involved in the Showcase. It was a great weekend for the Kelly soccer teams and we always enjoy some great competition. Girls finished second boys did well and got what we needed out of it. Also today in our last game against Lafayette a player got his head hurt and ended up having a concussion. I want to thank the linesman on the other side of the field who noticed something that happened behind my back with the kid, and did not obviously see. He cared enough and thought enough about it to send a parent from Lafayette who was a nurse over to check on him. This man stayed with my player until the ambulance showed up. Also a special thanks to the Lafayette coach, who stayed with the player and was involved in helping our player out the whole time. He could have left to be with his team, but after the game hung out and helped out. It was a great show of good sportmanship in competition, or in my mind, what it really is. Its about the kids. On our shirts we get the kids each season. It always says... Its More Than Soccer. Today the referee, parents and Lafayette coach went above and beyond. Thanks from the Kelly parents and myself. Great weekend. Thanks, Coach Arendale
