Pd 7 My name is Bryan Rios. I was born in San Diego CA. I like playing soccer, baseball, basketball, and playing the saxophone, and the piano. I also like watching soccer, baseball, and basketball. For baseball I play catcher and first base, soccer I play goalie because I am the bigger one and on the team.One time it was the biggest game of the season it was 1-0. We had gone to extra time and they scored first, but before the first extra time ended my friend, Jesus, scored a 2 goals. We went into the second extra time and they want to score but they couldn’t. I was until the last minute there was this play in our box and there was a handball. The referee gave a penalty.

I was goalie and the kicker came up to the penalty spot. I want to stop the penalty and be the hero. The kicker was ready to kick the referee blew his whistle. He kicked the ball and it was going to the right. I also was going to the right I thought I could not reach it. When I got to where the ball was the ball was there too and I blocked it. Now I just had to stay with the ball and get to it before the kicker and I did. I kicked it off and everybody was so happy. The referee blew his whistle and the game ended and everybody carried me around the whole field.
