One on one game; For the goal and the championship.
"Come on kick it, he thought, "so I can bounce the ball off my knee and into the net."
Cuts and curls like Andy Najar, the young player at his best.
Endline aimed was the play when he kicked it to score and hear them scream: "GOAL!"
Round two and the youngster had the advantage showing his strength and letting his wings unfold.
Cautioned when he kicked the soccer ball and got angry when he missed his aim.
He started doing all these hat tricks that had his opponent amazed.
Another goal and another scream: GOAL! And now he was well on his way.
Many already knew the truth; The young man was winning the game.
Player in opposition heads the ball into the goal area, then kicks and scores making the game interesting.
Imagine! A game that was in the little man's hand had almost been taken.
Only thing that kept the little man going was his faith in winning.
Now he holds the cup and the title: "The Little Light Shining."
