Well during Silsbee's game against Jasper last friday I saw James do the most amazing thing I have ever seen in a high school soccer match. As you all should know, James playes defense, and is a brick wall. Well at one point in the game one of the Jasper players hit a through ball past our defense to a player who was in full sprint. By the time any of the Silsbee team knew what had just happened the Jasper player was a good 20 yards behind our defense. James Trabing saw this and started running towards the goal. However, James was at an angle so that he was closer to our goal than to the actual Jasper player. So James started sprinting towards the goal to see if he could block the shot. Then, out of nowhere the Jasper player hit a rocket right for the left upper 90 of the goal. James then knew there was only one way he could block the shot. So as James was running towards the goal at full sprint he jumped into the air and did the most beautiful bycicle kick, and made solid contact with the ball that was about to g into the goal. Also, the ball that James biked went directly to a Silsbee player on the other half of the feild who was completely open and scored. This has to be the most amazing save and assist in high school soccer history. I am truely blessed that I got to witness it.
