Victory smiles

The Spring Branch-Memorial Sports Association 7U Rummel Creek Elementary Goats soccer team are making waves this fall under the leadership of coaches Layton Hiller and Austen Smith. Pictured after an exciting win are (front row, from left) players Rentaro Chiba, Whit Smith, Hudson Hicks, Gavin Roman, Holden Nguyen, Lucas Castilla; (middle row, from left) Jackson Jaggers, Jaxon Jurkash, (back row, from left) Hunter Nguyen, Madden Hiller, Landon Spangler, and Markus Patterson; not pictured: Shaw Xu. Each of the boys brings a different level of experience in soccer to the team. They continue to bond on and off the field, creating memories with each other as not only teammates, but also as school buddies.
