The Sports007 — Goooooooal! (How Jamie Watson convinced me to check out the Austin Aztex)

From the time the first whistle was blown, I was hooked. The Aztex completed their season sweep of Miami during the July 31st contest, with a final score of 3-1. Austin goals were scored by Eddie Johnson (assisted by Leonard Griffin) ; Lawrence Olum (assisted by Jamie Watson) and Kendell McFayden (assisted by Yordany Alvarez). The game itself was exciting, but what really made the experience special was how the players interacted with the crowd. After the game concluded the team opens up the fence and allows fans to go on the field for autographs. It was really inspiring to see the athletes interacting with the children especially.

Good story by D’Ann Faught, a football and hockey fan giving soccer a shot. Read it all.

(This story was also run on the Aztex website, so I’m sure they saw this, but hint hint to the Aztex front office: read her About page, and hire her. ;-)
