Trey made the 4th/5th grade soccer A team! As one of only 1.5 Americans, one of only 3 4th graders and the tiniest player in the whole tournament, he helped his team win 1st place against teams from all over the country. In the 6 games the team played, he allowed only 1 goal against them.
Right after the final whistle of the final game...
One of Trey's teammates is the son of this guy, Raul. As in Raul one of Spain's greatest soccer players ever. Really. Goals in the world cup, Real Madrid, awesome soccer player. He now plays for a local team. He'd come out to watch his son and they invited him to award the medals. Trey just giggled when he saw him. At one point Raul found Trey and asked, "So, best keeper ever, huh?" I guess he'd heard LOTS of soccer talk around his dinner table like we had!
The groupie...
