Game 1

Jayden returned to the soccer pitch today with the Florida Hawks U16 team, as they traveled to Dover to take on the West Florida Flames United team. Jay got the start on defense for the Hawks, and the two sides traded scoring opportunities over the course of the first few minutes of the game. The Hawks started to take control a bit on offense a little before the first water break, and continued to carry play after the break. When the halftime whistle blew, they had outshot the Flames by a 7-3 margin, but the score remained tied at zero all.

The Hawks continued to control the ball to start the first half, and would finally break through early on to grab a 1-0 lead. They got the goal on a shot from the center of the box, with the ball deflecting in off of a defender. That score would stand at the second water break. Jayden moved up to midfield when the game resumed, and made some nice plays, including a nice shot on goal that was unfortunately saved by the Flames keeper. Just when it looked like the Hawks would come away with the victory, the Flames team scored on a breakaway opportunity as time expired to snatch it away. The game would come to an end with a 1-1 score.
