A special visit

Recently, some players from the Spring Branch-Memorial Sports Association 8U Spartans soccer team had a special fan come to watch one of their games: Wilchester Elementary School second-grade teacher, Emily Copeland. The team battled it out in the gold division play-offs bracket, after a 7-2 regular season record. The team had some losses early on but rallied as the season went on winning the last five games and giving up two goals over that time. They even had four shutouts in a row, allowing zero goals to be scored on them in those games. Pictured (from left) are players Dylan Treadway, Forest Marshall, Copeland, Walker Finch, Santiago Sanchez, and Calloway Sherill.
