Soccer Co-Champions

Who would have thought that the Wilton U11 Gold Travel team would end up here.  After a good start, a decent middle and end of season saw us with a 3-3-2 record, backing into the playoffs.  4 team playoff in an 8 team league.  Saturday, in the cold twilight, we beat New Canaan in OT 2-1.  Trevor was in the goal and played well in the cold.  He only gave up a goal on a rebound on a penalty kick...which he did not know was a live ball.

Then in the final in a sunny chilly Sunday afternoon, our Wilton boys battled the undefeated, top-ranked Westport boys to a draw 0-0.  Trevor pitched a shutout in a great game, making some outstanding saves including a diving punch to his left as the final seconds of the first half wound down.  We held on and ended with the title co-champions.

We feel great for Trevor who improved in the goal with each game, and got more an more confident.  Coach Jimmy was tremendous with this good group of boys and it was a lot of fun.

 Trev took the big whistle and coached 5/6 rec hoops again.  Great year, great run.
