Upcoming Schedule

Minimize
We are done for the fall, but will play in the Showcase of the South, in Little Rock, in January.

Arkansas Comets 96B Premier

Minimize
I have played with the Comets since I entered their "Challenge" program at U8.  At the younger ages I played both as a goalie and field player.  That changed at U14, when I became primarily a goalkeeper.  I still play on the field when I can, and when I'm not doing goalie-specific work at practice, I go through drills with the field players to keep up my foot skills.  I also play winter, adult league indoor soccer as a field player.

    2. 5-time State Champion (U11-U15)

ODP

Minimize
I made the Arkansas ODP team for 95 Boys in 2010 and 2011.  In 2010 our team did very well at ODP camp, losing only to the eventual winner of the camp tournament.  Along the way we beat both North and South Texas teams.

In 2011 we combined with Oklahoma.  Only 7 Arkansas players were selected for the team.  I was the only goalkeeper on the team.  We lost 1 game and tied 3 others. 

I will scan and include my evaluation from camp.

Har-Ber High School

Minimize
As a freshman for Har-Ber, I primarily played JV, splitting time with my club teammate, Mitch LaMendola.  I generally played in the field when I was not in goal (back or outside midfield).  I did get to start one Varsity match in goal, and I dressed for most Varsity games.  We have a very deep goalkeeping core at Har-Ber, which is unusual at most local high schools.  The depth of our goalkeeping roster makes it very competitive to earn playing time.  That is good for all of us.  I am not at all hesitant about going into a college program where the competition for playing time is tough.
