This year Merrick took a step away from goalie. He also rarely played forward. It's not that he doesn't love those positions, he does (especially forward), but he really excelled at defense this year and his team really needed him there. He was a monster at defense and while he didn't play goalie, he made the goalie's job considerably easier. This might be Merrick's last year playing soccer, and if it is, I have to say I couldn't be prouder of how he developed and how hard he played. He left his heart on the field each and every game.
For Carrigan, this year she showed a tremendous amount of growth. Last year she was so timid on the field but she has really started to come out of her shell. She has really developed her ball handling and dribbling skills. She still hangs back from time to time but I can see how far she has come. She is already talking about next season and can't wait to see the development that that will bring.
Here's to a wonderful year! Now on to basketball!
