My cousin, Myrt Carlson's grandson, Carl Wilson, played in a soccer tournament last Sunday at the Scheels Soccer Complex in Overland Park, Kansas. His mom, Sonya Wilson accompanied him on his adventure. It was also an adventure for Sigrid and me to attend the game. This was our first live soccer game other than seeing the US Women's team play years ago at Arrowhead Stadium. All of the members of this branch of my family tree live in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The tournament ran from Friday through Sunday and had teams from a number of midwestern cities. Carl's team took second place so there was much to celebrate on the way back home. The weather was nice but a bit chilly and windy. The photos below are from the first of two games that Carl's team played on Sunday. They won this game 1 - 0.
Carl wears the Number 36 jersey.
