Logan vs American – how did I get this match? Great girls soccer

This was a match for first place. This was a great match. I was very humbled to be in the middle of this match.

This match had a little of everything. Ball hit referee, center and AR disagreeing, penalty kicks, fans taunting player and fans taunting fans. High school drama all the way.

Larry T was the AR on the Logan side, few disagreements. Jairo C was the other AR and we had a couple of mistakes. The 3-2 result was a great result for the match.
