Seb played his final competitive soccer game today, with his PCU club. The team will continue on to an end-of-season tournament in April, but he decided a few weeks ago that he was done. He wants to focus on other things -- going to the gym, his budding videography business, hanging with friends, playing tennis. It's been a good run, 12 years of soccer, with Forest Heights SC, Lincoln Youth Soccer, Lincoln High school, and Portland City United. Good coaches, good teammates, hundreds of games and practices and tournaments. Steve and I were really sad at the end, especially as it foreshadows other endings to come in short order. We have loved watching him play.
On the final play of the game, Seb's team earned a free kick right outside the box. Seb stepped up to take it, got it through the wall, and one of his teammates tapped it in. An assist for his final touch!
After the game, some of his teammates hugged him, and his coach gave a short speech appreciating him. Pretty sweet.
