Kathy and I attended a Tuesday night high school soccer game at Harry B. Orem stadium, a venue where we had spent many hours in years past. The eighth-ranked Mules were hosting Boerne, the top-ranked team in the San Antonio area, in an important district match.
Guess who? The Heights keeper and a teammate clear the ball from a Boerne corner kick.
A clearing header as an attacker crashes the party.
Sandwiched by two defenders.
But ref, I got all ball!
Well, some of the fans were enthusiastic.
Change of direction.
Strong defending in the air.
The Heights' keeper sacrifices his body to punch the ball clear.
Solid defending results in a Heights' throw-in.
Not a contact sport?
Sprinting for the ball.
The Boerne keeper is put under pressure.
Heading the ball towards goal - several Heights' attacks in the last five minutes almost broke the scoreless draw.
A helping hand as the game ends.
The 0-0 tie leaves Alamo Heights in first place, a half game ahead of Boerne, after the first complete round of district competition.
