Yesterday was Mikayla’s second soccer game of the season (Saturday’s game was rained out…rescheduled for Saturday, November 1st, 9am). And what a game it turned out to be. At some point within the first 4 minutes of the game, the Strikers (Mikayla’s team) managed to score a goal against the opposing team. This quick goal would set the tone for the rest of the game.

Now, to bring a little background into the “Milkshake” portion of this story, Mikayla was promised by myself and Juli that if her team won, she would be treated to a milkshake of her choosing at Sonic. So with a peanut butter and fudge milkshake vivid in her mind, she stepped onto the field with a mission.

At some point in the first half, Mikayla (on the field as a left forward) took the ball down the left sideline with at least two attacking defenders from the opposing team hot on her trail. With a swift kick off her left foot, Mikayla fired the ball directly into the goal, whizzing right past the goalie. It truly was an amazing shot that will be talked about for days to come (Mikayla would like everyone to know that she made that goal with her left foot, not her stronger right foot).

By the end of the first half, the Strikers were up 5-1 and by the end of the game, the Strikers pummeled their opponent in an astounding 9-1 victory. We celebrated with milkshakes for the whole family. Way to go Mikayla, you did an awesome job!
